Dixie On My Mind
D G
All the stations up here they don't sign off with Dixie
D A
the way they did in sweet home Alabam'
D G
And the people here don't sip Jack Daniels whiskey
D A D
The way they do in the Tennessee mountain land.
D G
I've always heard alots about the Big Apple
D A
So I thought I'd come up here and see.
D G
But all I've seen so far is one big hassle
D A D
Wish I was camped out on the okchoabee
(Chorus)
G D
If this is the promise land, I've had all I can stand
A
And I'm heading back below that Dixie line.
G D
No, I just don't fit in and I'll never come back again
F G D
But I'm busted here and I got Dixie on my mind.
F G D
Oh, I'm stuck up here and I got Dixie on my mind.
D G
These people never smile or say a word
D A
They're all to busy trying to make an extra dime.
D G
Oh I'd love to haul them all down around Spartanburg
D A D
And show 'em how to raise hell in Caroline.
D G
Oh the things you know that I miss most of all
D A
is the freedom of the rivers and the pines.
D G
They don't do much hunting and fishing up here you know
D A D
But I have met a few squirrels and one porcupine.
(Chorus 2)
G D
Well, if this is the promise land, I've had all I can stand
A
wish I was down in Houston town tonight.
G D
Now I just don't fit in and I'll never be back again.
F G D
But I'm busted here and I got Dixie on my mind.
F G D
Lord I'm stuck up here and I got Dixie on my mind.
