LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Dixie lyrics

rate me

New york city is a thousand miles away<br />

And if you ask me, I'll tell you that's ok<br />

Now I'm not trying to put the big apple down<br />

'Cause they don't need a man like me in town<br />

I pick cotton down on the dixie line<br />

Work hard all day tryin' to make a dime<br />

But that's allright, that's ok by me<br />

'Cause that's the way that it was meant to be<br />

<br />

Big city, hard times don't bother me<br />

I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be<br />

<br />

I don't like smoke chokin' up my air<br />

And some of those city folks well they don't care<br />

I don't like cars buzzing around<br />

I don't even want a piece of concrete in my town<br />

I like sunshine, fresh clean air<br />

Makes me feel like you wouldn't care but<br />

That's all right, each to his own<br />

But one smell from the city<br />

And this country boy is gone<br />

<br />

Big city, hard times don't bother me<br />

I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be<br />

<br />

Well, I don't want to even read about it<br />

<br />

Let me tell you something, let me tell you true<br />

What's right for me might not be right for you<br />

Well, you live your way, I'll live mine<br />

And I hope that your happy all the time<br />

I pick cotton down on the dixie line<br />

Work hard all day tryin' to make a dime<br />

But that's all right, that's ok by me<br />

'Cause that's the way that it was supposed to be<br />

<br />

Big city, hard times never bother me<br />

I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be<br />

<br />

Let me tell ya, I said<br />

Big city, hard times never bother me<br />

I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be<br />

Ooh, that's my way, baby<br />

I don't want you to even tell me about the big city<br />

I don't want to read about it
