Punch Brothers - Down Along The Dixie Line lyrics

Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me Down along the Dixie Line Banjos are strumming Horseflies are humming Ripe melons on the vine The gold and the gray They say look away Way down along the Dixie Line Back in my childhood I walk the wildwood Down along the Dixie Line The freight trains are squalling Eyeballs are bawling Four engines at a time Well I was so happy with Momma and Pappy Down along the Dixie Line Can't you hear them drivers wail? Can't you see them bright rails shine? I want to catch that fireball man Leaving northland far behind Rivers of whiskey flow down to Dixie Down along the Dixie Line But they pulled up the tracks now And I can't go back now Can't hardly keep from cryin' Oh do they miss me way down in Dixie Down along the Dixie Line Can't you hear them drivers wail? Can't you see them bright rails shine? I want to catch that fireball man Leaving northland far behind Can't you hear them drivers wail? Can't you see them bright rails shine? I want to catch that fireball man Leaving northland far behind I want to catch that fireball man Leaving northland far behind
