| We’re talking Tupelo was about a fast train
|
| Headed toward the world like a mad hurricane
|
| When he finally hit the ground, he tore us all apart
|
| He was born to be a light in the dark
|
| Now miles from Mississippi down some distant shore
|
| He’s blazed a trail of glory and a whole lot more
|
| Like some shooting star we’ve never seen before
|
| I’m talking 'bout the one that opened up the door
|
| The king of Dixie, he’s still around
|
| The king of Dixie, in every town
|
| The king of Dixie no he ain’t gone
|
| The king of Dixie’s still on the throne
|
| The king of Dixie tried and true
|
| Still rockin' away for me and you
|
| The king of Dixie is you know who
|
| I said long live the king of Dixie
|
| There was a man from Montgomery, lonesome to the bone
|
| He only stayed a while, this world was not his home
|
| It seemed like on behalf of broken hearts he’s sing
|
| And with every word he was calling my name
|
| Now he’s from Alabama where he first saw the light
|
| There ain’t a heart in heaven gonna cheat on him tonight
|
| I can see him now, decked out in white
|
| Sending down the word that everything’s all right
|
| The king of Dixie, he’s still around
|
| The king of Dixie, in every town
|
| The king of Dixie, no he ain’t gone
|
| The king of Dixie’s still on the throne
|
| The king of Dixie, tried and true
|
| Still rockin' away for me and you
|
| The king of Dixie is you know who
|
| I said long live the king of Dixie
|
| The king of Dixie, he’s still around
|
| The king of Dixie, in every town
|
| The king of Dixie, no he ain’t gone
|
| The king of Dixie’s still on the throne
|
| The king of Dixie, tried and true
|
| Still rockin' away for me and you
|
| The king of Dixie is you know who
|
| I said long live the king of Dixie |
