| She had a dead end job at the national bank
|
| And a deadbeat husband who always drank
|
| So when he didn’t come home he had the gin to thank
|
| For the tears in her eyes
|
| So Dixie packed up and said her goodbyes
|
| And she went driving so far away nobody’s gonna find her
|
| Flyin' just fast enough to leave it all behind her
|
| But she didn’t know 'til she hit the road, deep in her soul
|
| She’s got the fire and the fight of the gypsy
|
| Ain’t nothing stronger than the heart of Dixie
|
| It’s a funny thing when your world falls down
|
| It’s got a way of showing you what you’re all about
|
| Now Dixie’s got her wheels pointed south
|
| She ain’t never looking back
|
| And nobody knew she must leave like that
|
| And she went driving so far away nobody’s gonna find her
|
| Flyin' just fast enough to leave it all behind her
|
| But she didn’t know 'til she hit the road, deep in her soul
|
| She’s got the fire and the fight of the gypsy
|
| Ain’t nothing stronger than the heart of Dixie
|
| Yeah Dixie woke up to the truth one day
|
| Grabbed her cheap sun glasses and a lipstick case
|
| And she went driving so far away nobody’s gonna find her
|
| Flyin' just fast enough to leave it all behind her
|
| But she didn’t know 'til she hit the road, deep in her soul
|
| She’s got the fire and the fight of the gypsy
|
| Ain’t nothing stronger than the heart of Dixie |
