Marty Stuart - The King Of Dixie lyrics

Written by Marty Stuart and Allen Shamblin We're talking Tupelo was about a fast train Headed toward the world like a mad hurricane When he finally hit the ground, he tore us all apart He was born to be a light in the dark Now miles from Mississippi down some distant shore He's blazed a trail of glory and a whole lot more Like some shooting star we've never seen before I'm talking 'bout the one that opened up the door The king of Dixie, he's still around The king of Dixie, in every town The king of Dixie no he ain't gone The king of Dixie's still on the throne The king of Dixie tried and true Still rockin' away for me and you The king of Dixie is you know who I said long live the king of Dixie There was a man from Montgomery, lonesome to the bone He only stayed a while, this world was not his home It seemed like on behalf of broken hearts he's sing And with every word he was calling my name Now he's from Alabama where he first saw the light There ain't a heart in heaven gonna cheat on him tonight I can see him now, decked out in white Sending down the word that everything's all right The king of Dixie, he's still around The king of Dixie, in every town The king of Dixie, no he ain't gone The king of Dixie's still on the throne The king of Dixie, tried and true Still rockin' away for me and you The king of Dixie is you know who I said long live the king of Dixie The king of Dixie, he's still around The king of Dixie, in every town The king of Dixie, no he ain't gone The king of Dixie's still on the throne The king of Dixie, tried and true Still rockin' away for me and you The king of Dixie is you know who I said long live the king of Dixie
