Hank Williams Jr. - Dixie On My Mind Lyrics

 

All the stations up here, they don't sign off with Dixie

The way they did in sweet home Alabam'

And the people here don't sip Jack Daniels whiskey

The way they do in the Tennessee mountain land

 

I'd always heard lots about The Big Apple

So I thought I'd come up here and see

But all I've seen so far is one big hassle

Wish I was camped out on the Okeechobee

 

If this is the promised land, I've had all I can stand

And I'm headed back below that Dixie line

No, I just don't fit in, and I'll never come back again

But I'm busted here and I got Dixie on my mind

Oh, and I'm stuck up here and I got Dixie on my mind

 

Yee-ha

 

These people never smile or say a word

They're all too busy tryin' to make an extra dime

Oh, I'd love to haul 'em all down around Spartanburg

And show 'em how to raise hell in Carolin'

 

Oh, the things you know that I miss most of all

Is the freedom of the rivers and the pines

They don't do much huntin' and fishin' up here you know

But I have met a few squirrels and one porcupine

 

Well, if this is the promised land, I've had all I can stand

Wish I was down in Houston town tonight

No, I just don't fit in, and I'll never come back again

But I'm busted here and I got Dixie on my mind

 

Lord, I'm stuck up here and got Dixie on my mind
