I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find
A wood frame house and a gravel driveway Willow trees and old front porch Just outside the city limits, out on highway 34
I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find
That rabbit tobacco, growing on the roadside Rolled it up and we smoked it down. Don’t do much, but it makes you feel big When you’re ten years old in a tiny town
Yeah I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines Yeah I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find
Have a chicken pen right in the backyard Close line running east to west Butterbean and tomato garden Six days and a Sunday rest
I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.
Summertime, hot and hazy, bare feet, and a water hose Melon lime on a country table Lightning buds when the sun goes down.
I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.
The holy ghost on a Sunday morning, Gospel songs and a Bible read Sunday lunch at momma’s table, thank the Lord and break the bread.
I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.
I screamed in porch right out the backdoor, Washing machine and an old wood stove Momma singin’ in the kitchen, rolling homemade biscuit dough
I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find
When I’m old and Heaven’s calling And they come to carry me away Just lay me down, down in the southland Bury me in the Georgia clay
I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find
