All the stations up here they don’t sign off with Dixie
C
G7
The way they did in sweet home Alabam
C

And the people here don’t sip Jack Daniels whiskey
C
G7
C
The way they do in the Tennessee mountain land

I’ve always heard a lot about the Big Apple
C

So I thought I’d come up here and see
C
F
But all I’ve seen so far is one big hassle
C

C
Wish I was camped out on the Okeechobee
F
C
If this is the promise land I’ve had all I can stand
G7
And I’m heading back below that Dixie line
F
C
No I just don’t fit in and I’ll never come back again
F
C
But I’m busted here and I got Dixie on my mind
F
C
Oh I’m stuck up here and I got Dixie on my mind
F
These people never smile or say a word
C
G7
They’re all to busy trying to make an extra dime
C
F
Oh I’d love to haul them all down around Spartanburg
C

And show ’em how to raise hell in Caroline
F
Oh the things you know that I miss most of all
C
G7
Is the freedom of the rivers and the pines
C
F
They don’t do much hunting and fishing up here you know

But I have met a few squirrels and one porcupine
F
C
Well if this is the promise land I’ve had all I can stand
G7
Wish I was down in Houston town tonight
F
C
Now I just don’t fit in and I’ll never be back again
F
C
But I’m busted here and I got Dixie on my mind
F
C
Lord I’m stuck up here and I got Dixie on my mind
