Marty Stuart - The King Of Dixie lyrics
[Marty Stuart - The King Of Dixie lyrics]
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
