Dixie Everywhere I Go

She asked him if he'd like a drink - he said yes ma'am
The waitress looked at him and laughed, said I'll be damned
You sound like you're fresh off the bus from Alabam'
He said yes ma'am l'm from Muscle Shoals
And I take Dixie with me everywhere I go

I just ate a big ol' bowl of turnip greens
Some barbeque and cornbread and some sweet iced tea
You might not understand that here in Buffalo
But I take Dixie with me everywhere I go

He leaned across the empty barstool next to mine
He smiled and whispered, Dixie darlin' take your time
We're not in any hurry, have some more red wine
He said to me, I'm not a fool you know
But I take Dixie with me everywhere I go

Dixie's been in love with me for all these years
Just 'cause you can't see her don't mean she's not here
As soon as we have one more drink we're goin' home
I take Dixie with me everywhere I go

I heard the people laughing from across the floor
They said poor guy, l guess his mind don't live here anymore...

Against the swirling wind the tiny foot-bridge swayed
And in his mind Sweet Home Alabama played
He pulled her faded picture from his overcoat
And said I take Dixie with me everywhere I go

He plunged into the icy water far below
Saying I take Dixie with me everywhere I go
I take Dixie with me everywhere I go...
