that’s my dixie (live) lyrics
[intro]
so somethin’ y’all might not know about me is, uh
i’m very proud to be from alabama and to be from the south
i don’t hide it very well
and uh, i think a lot of people in the world have a misconception
about what it means to be southern and what it means to be proud to be southern
and i wrote this song about that, and, uh, i just
i hope that people take it the way i mean it, and i hope they, uh
they realize that down here, what we value is shakin’ peoples’ hand
and lookin’ ’em in the eye and sayin’ “yes, sir” and “yes, ma’am”
and treatin’ people with a certain level of respect
so i wrote this song to try to tell people that story
it’s called “that’s my dixie”
[verse 1]
there’s folks out there that’ll judge a man
by the color of his skin
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
[chorus]
it’s who i am, mr. give~a~d~mn
for the ones that came before me
it’s the broken part of a southern heart
it’s more than just old glory
it’s a state of mind as deep and wide
and strong like the mississippi
we sing “amazing grace” and curse the heat
yeah, that’s my dixie
[verse 2]
nowadays, 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 turnin’ these towns into battle grounds
and that don’t sit well with me
ooh, ’cause that ain’t my dixie
[chorus]
it’s who i am, mr. give~a~d~mn
for the ones that came before me
it’s the broken part of a southern heart
it’s more than just old glory
it’s a state of mind as deep and wide
and strong like the mississippi
we sing “amazing grace” and curse the heat
yeah, that’s my dixie
[bridge]
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
[chorus]
it’s who i am, mr. give~a~d~mn
for the ones that came before me
it’s the broken part of a southern heart
it’s more than just old glory
it’s a state of mind as deep and wide
and strong like the mississippi
we sing “amazing grace” and curse that alabama heat
yeah, that’s my dixie
[outro]
thank y’all very much
