Dixie On My Mind

All the stations up here don't sign off with Dixie

The way they did in sweet home Alabama

And the people here don't sip Jack Daniels whiskey

The way they do in that Tennessee mountain land

I've always heard lots about the big apple

So, I thought I'd come up here and see

But all I've seen so far is one big hassle

Wish I was camped out on the Okeechobee

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

And I'm headed back below that Dixie line

No, I just don't fit in, and I'll never come back again

But I'm busted here, I got Dixie on my mind

Oh, I'm stuck up here, and I got Dixie on my mind, yee-ha!

These people never smile, or say a word

They're all too busy tryin' to make an extra dime

Oh, I'd love to haul 'em all down around Spartanburg

And show 'em how to raise hell in Caroline

All the things you know that I miss most of all

Is the freedom of the rivers and the pines

They don't do much huntin' and fishin' up here, you know

But I have met a few squirrels and one porcupine

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

Wish I was down in Houston town tonight

Now, I just don't fit in, and I'll never come back again

But I'm busted here with Dixie on my mind

Oh, I'm stuck up here, I got Dixie on my mind
