Couldn't Leave Dixie Lyrics

It had to be her and me East of Mississippi

Had to be a painted sky opened up wide South of Tennessee

These dirt roads ain't a bad trade-away for an uptown drive in the sunshine state

I can't live behind that eastern time

Too early to get home late

I guess I'm in too deep, can't you see

We couldn't leave Dixie

We couldn't leave Alabam'

Stars on the Land

Of a down home, sweet home, call it what you please

Take me back to that southern drawl

Where the work don't slow down 'til the day's gone

I can hear Hank man himself callin' me

We just wouldn't, we couldn't leave, couldn't leave Dixie

Now listen to me babe, just hear my plea

You can take a man outta Dixie

But Dixie's in these genes

We can raise 'em up in the pine land

Yeah I know them woods like the back of my hand

And mama ain't real far

And she can cook like nobody can

See my roots run deep, can't you see

We couldn't leave Dixie

Couldn't leave Alabam'

Stars on the Land

Of a down home, sweet home, call it what you please

Take me back to that southern drawl

Where the work don't stop and it hits like home

I can hear Hank man himself callin me

We just wouldn't, we couldn't leave, we couldn't leave Dixie

See my roots run deep

And it's got a hold on me

We couldn't leave Dixie

Couldn't leave Alabam'

Stars on the Land

Of a down home, sweet home, call it what you please

Take me back to that southern drawl

Where the work don't slow down 'til the days gone

I can hear Hank man himself callin' me

We just wouldn't, we couldn't leave, we couldn't leave Dixie

We couldn't leave Dixie

Couldn't leave Dixie
