Written by teddy gentry, randy owen, jeff cook, and mark herndon By now in new york city, there's snow on the ground And out in california, the sunshine's falling down And, maybe down in memphis, graceland's all in lights And in atlanta, georgia, there's peace on earth tonight Chorus: Chirstmas in dixie, it's snowin' in the pines Merry christmas from dixie, to everyone tonight It's windy in chicago. the kids are out of school There's magic in motown. the city's on the move In jackson, mississippi, to charlotte, caroline And all across the nation, it's the peaceful christmas time Chorus And from fort payne, alabama God bless y'all...we love ya...happy new year...good night Merry christmas...merry christmas tonight
