Dixie on my mind

D G

1. 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

2. I've always heard a lots 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 Okeechobee swamp.

G D

If this is the promised 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, and I'm stuck up here and I got Dixie on my mind.

D G

3. 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

4. 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.

G D

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

/ A

wish I was down in Houston town tonight.

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

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