If
I ever get out of Dixie,
I'm gonna buy me some brand new shoes.
I'm gonna have somebody shine them up soon as I pay my dues.
If I ever get out of Tennessee,
out beneath this dust and dirt,
I'm gonna live my life like a high and mighty,
gonna get what I deserve.
And when I cross that line,
man,
I'll sing a brand new song,
instead of sitting here by the railroad
tracks with some Dixie all day long.
I'm so
tired of paying,
praying for my sins.
Lord,
get me out of Dixieland,
in Jesus' name,
amen.
It was the mines that killed my daddy.
It was the law that killed my man.
It was the Bible belt that whipped me when I broke the fifth command.
Now, I don't hate the weather.
Now, I don't hate the land.
But if I had it my way,
I'd never see this place again.
When I cross that line,
man,
I'll sing a brand new song,
instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks with some Dixie
all day long.
I'm so tired of paying,
praying for my sins.
Lord,
get me out of Dixieland,
in Jesus' name,
amen.

When I tread out of these parts,
look me up on the other side,
I'll be damned if I go down in Dixieland,
I doubt.
Yeah,
I'll be damned if I go down in Dixieland,
I doubt.
