Sons and Daughters of Dixie

Jason Boland (Country)

[Verse 1]
God bless you Mississippi, God bless you New Orleans
For holdin' through the hard times like few have ever seen
Otherwise left high and dry with nothin' there to use
Into the arms of Houston, Mobile, and Baton Rouge

[Verse 2]
Those who turned a blind eye will answer for their sins
And be denied redemption when your cities rise again
The back shall not be broken of the soul that won't be killed
One thing a southern man knows how to do is to rebuild

[Chorus 1]
Look away
Glory's just a few miles down the road
A better day
Is at the end of this long row you must hoe
The good Lord willin' and the creeks don't rise
We'll make it through another year
Keep the sons and daughters of Dixie dry
And wipe away the tears

[Verse 3]
Resurrection morning, the stones will roll away
Back into the levees, with a little luck they'll stay
But one thing I can't stomach is how the hill watched it bleed
You bet they'd sing a different tune if a flood had hit D.C

[Chorus 2]
They looked away
Help was just a few miles down the road
A better day
Never came for the ones who were not chose
The Good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise
We'll make it through another year
Keep the sons and daughters of dixie dry
And wipe away the tears

[Chorus 1]
Look away
Glory's just a few miles down the road
A better day
Is at the end of this long road you must hoe
Good Lord willin' and the creeks don't rise
We'll make it through another year
Keep the sons and daughters of Dixie dry
And wipe away the tears
Keep the sons and daughters of Dixie dry
And wipe away the tears
