spoken
you might be a redneck
radio static
the grand ole opry coming to you live from
radio static
when your wheelhouse is the land of cotton
the first time you leave it can be strange it can be shockin’
not everybody drives a truck not everybody drinks sweet tea
not everybody owns a gun wears a ball cap boots and jeans
not everybody goes to church
or watches every nascar race
not everybody knows the words to
ring of fire or amazing grace
oh dixie land
i hope you understand
when i miss my tennessee home
and i’ve been away way too long
i can’t see this world unless i go
outside my southern comfort zone
i have walked the streets of rome i have been to foreign lands
i know what it’s like to talk and have nobody understand
i have seen the eiffel tower lit up on a paris night
i have kissed a west coast girl underneath the northern lights
i know what it’s like to be the only one like me
to take a good hard look around and be a minority
and i miss my tennessee home
i can see the ways that i’ve grown
i can’t see this world unless i go
outside my southern comfort zone
i miss your biscuits and your gravy
fireflies dancing in the night
you have fed me you have saved me
billy graham and martha white
i have since become a drifter
and i just can’t wait to pack
cause i know the route i leave on
it will always bring me back
i wish i was in dixie again
i miss my tennessee home
i’ve been away way too long
i can’t see this world unless i go
outside my southern comfort zone
look away look away
i wish i was in dixie away look away
