That's My Dixie

(album: Behind The Bar - 2021)

There's folks out there that'll judge a man by the color of his skin
There's still a fight over wrong and right that no one ever wins
I know somewhere there's hate out there, but don't hold that against me
Ooh, 'cause that ain't my Dixie

It's who I am, Mr. Give-A-Damn for the ones who came before me
The broken part of a southern heart that's more than just Old Glory
It's a state of mind as deep and wide and strong as the Mississippi
We sing Amazing Grace and curse the heat
Yeah, that's my Dixie

And now days you just can't believe what you see on the news
'Round here we ain't just Black and white 'cause we're all red, white and blue
They're turning these towns into battle grounds and that don't sit well with me
Ooh, 'cause that ain't my Dixie

It's who I am, Mr. Give-A-Damn for the ones who came before me
The broken part of a southern heart that's more than just Old Glory
It's a state of mind as deep and wide and strong as the Mississippi
We sing Amazing Grace and curse the heat
Yeah, that's my Dixie

That's my Dixie

It's homemade pies and Georgia pines
Old bird dogs and Spanish moss
It's mama's tea that's way too sweet
It's, "Come on in and have a seat"
Yeah, that's my Dixie

It's who I am, Mr. Give-A-Damn for the ones who came before me
The broken part of a southern heart that's more than just Old Glory
It's a state of mind as deep and wide and strong as the Mississippi
We sing Amazing Grace and curse the heat
Yeah, that's my Dixie

That's my Dixie (Yeah, that's my Dixie)
