Vince Gill - Dixie lyrics

[Verse 1] If I ever get out of Dixie Gonna buy me some brand new shoes Gonna have somebody shine 'em up soon as I pay my dues If I ever get out of Tennessee Out from 'neath this dust and dirt Gonna live just like a high and mighty Gonna get what I deserve [Chorus] When I cross that line, man I'll sing a brand new song Instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whistlin' Dixie all day long I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins Lord get me outta Dixie Land in Jesus' name, amen [Verse 2] It was the mines that k**ed my daddy It was the law that k**ed my man It was the Bible belt that whipped me When I broke the Fifth Command I don't hate the weather I don't hate the land But if I had my way I'd never see this place again [Chorus] When I cross that line, man I'll sing a brand new song Instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whistlin' Dixie all day long I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins Lord get me outta Dixie Land in Jesus' name, amen When I cross that line, man I'll sing a brand new song Instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whistlin' Dixie all day long I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins Lord get me outta Dixie Land in Jesus' name, amen [Tag] When I tread out of these parts Look me up on the other side Cause I'll be damned if I go down in Dixie when I die Yeah, I'll be damned if I go down in Dixie when I die
