Ashley Monroe - Dixie lyrics

If I ever get out of Dixie
I'm gonna buy me some brand new shoes
I'm 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 my life like a high and mighty
Gonna get what I deserve

And 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
Well, I'm so tired of paying
Praying for my sins lord, get me outta Dixie
Land, in Jesus' name, amen

It was the mines that killed my daddy
It was the law that killed my man
It was the Bible belt that whipped me
When I broke the Fifth Command
Now, I don't hate the weather
Now, I don't hate the land
But, if I had my way
I'd never see this place again

And 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
Well, I'm so tired of paying
Praying for my sins lord, get me outta Dixie
Land, in Jesus' name, amen

And 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
Well, I'm so tired of paying
Praying for my sins lord, get me outta Dixie
Land, in Jesus' name, amen

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
