I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place youll ever find.

Wood frame house and a gravel driveway
Willow trees and old front porch
Just outside the city limits,
Down on highway 34.

That crappy tobacco growing on the roadside
Rolled it up and we smoked it down.
Dont do much, but it makes you feel big
When youâre ten years old in a tiny town.
Repeat Chorus:
Fiddle Solo: Chorus Progression
Had a chicken pen right in the backyard
Clothes line running east to west
Butter bean and Tomato garden,
Six days and a Sunday rest.

Piano Solo: Chorus Progression
Summertime, hot and hazy,
Bare feet and a water hose
Melon rind on a country table
Lightning bugs when the sun goes down.
Repeat Chorus:

And the holy ghost on a Sunday morning,
Gospel songs and a Bible read
Sunday lunch at mommas table,
Thank the Lord and break the bread.

Had a screened in porch right out the backdoor,
Washing machine and an old wood stove
Momma singing in the kitchen,
Rolling homemade biscuit dough.

Spoken: Alright were gonna break down this next verse

When Im old Heavens calling
And they come to carr-me go away
Just lay me down, down in the south land
Bury me in the Georgia clay.
