If It Ain't Dixie (It Won't Do)

(album: 40 Hour Week - 1985)

Oh, I love those Colorado Rockies
And that big starry Montana sky
And the lights of San Francisco
On a California night
Enjoyed those ballgames in Chicago
On those windy afternoons
It's a big beautiful country
But I'm never home too soon
If it ain't Dixie, it won't do

If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
I've had good times
North of the line
I've got a lot of good friends, too
But if it ain't Dixie, it won't do
It won't do

When the leaves turn in New England
I love the chill that's in the air
I've walked the New York City sidewalks
Had a big time in Times Square
But now my wheels are rolling southward
And heaven's coming into view
Home-sweet-home is Alabama
That's what I look forward too

If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
I've had good times
North of the line
I've got a lot of good friends, too

If it ain't Dixie, it won't do
It won't do

If it ain't Dixie
Oh no, Oh no-whoah

Now my wheels are rolling southward
And heaven's coming into view
Home-sweet-home is Alabama
That's what I look forward to

If it ain't Dixie, it just won't do
If it ain't Dixie, whoa no

If it ain't Dixie.
If it ain't Dixie, oh yeah
If it ain't Dixie, oh no...
