| I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
|
| I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.
|
| Wood frame house, and gravel driveway
|
| Willow trees and an old front porch
|
| Just outside the city limits, down ol' highway 34.
|
| I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
|
| I was raised on the Dixie Highway,
|
| no sweeter place you’ll ever find (You won’t ever find it).
|
| That pappy Tobacco, growin' on the roadside
|
| Rolled it up and we smoked it down.
|
| Don’t do much, but it makes you feel big
|
| When you’re ten years old in a tiny town.
|
| Yeah I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
|
| Yeah I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.
|
| And a chicken pen, right in the backyard
|
| Clothes line running east to west
|
| Butterbean, and tomato garden, six days and a Sunday rest.
|
| Yeah I was born (I was born) on the Dixie Highway
|
| (Dixie Highway), red clay and Georgia pines
|
| I was raised (I was raised) on the Dixie Highway
|
| (Dixie Highway), no sweeter place you’ll ever find.
|
| (Awww, lets get it… Woo!)
|
| Summertime, hot and hazy, bare feet and a water hose
|
| Melon ripe, on a concrete table
|
| Lightnin' bugs, when the sun goes down.
|
| I was born (Yeah I was born) on the Dixie Highway
|
| (Way down in Dixie), red clay and Georgia pines
|
| Yeah I was raised (Yeah I was raised) on the Dixie
|
| Highway (That Dixie Highway), no sweeter place you’ll ever find.
|
| And the holy ghost on Sunday morning,
|
| Gospel songs and a Bible read
|
| Sunday lunch at momma’s table, thank the Lord and break the bread.
|
| I was born (I was born) on the Dixie Highway
|
| (Dixie Highway), red clay and Georgia pines
|
| I was raised (I was raised) on the Dixie Highway
|
| (Dixie Highway), no sweeter place you’ll ever find.
|
| Had a screened in porch, right out the backdoor
|
| Washing machine and an old wood stove
|
| Momma’s singing in the kitchen, rollin' homemade biscuit dough.
|
| I was born (I was born) on the Dixie Highway
|
| (Dixie Highway), red clay and Georgia pines
|
| Yeah I was raised (Yeah I was raised) on the Dixie
|
| Highway (Dixie Highway), no sweeter place you’ll ever find.
|
| When I’m old and Heaven’s calling
|
| And they come to carry me away
|
| Just lay me down, down in south land
|
| Bury me in the Georgia clay
|
| Yeah I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
|
| I was raised (Yeah I was raised) on the Dixie Highway,
|
| no sweeter place you’ll ever find.
|
| No sweeter place you’ll ever find
|
| No sweeter place- you’ll ever- find. |
