Am   Am    Am   E   Am


Am
If I ever get out of dixie
Ima buy me some brand new shoes
E                                 
I'm gonna have somebody shine 'em 
                   Am
up soon as I pay my dues
Am
If I ever get out of Tennessee
Out from 'neath this dust and dirt
E                                 
I'm gonna live just like a high 
                          Am
and mighty gonna get what I deserve


C
When I cross that line man I'll sing
 a brand new song
E
instead of sitting here by the 
railroad tracks whilstlin'
Am
dixie all day long
C
I'm so tired of paying and praying 
for my sins
E
Lord get me out o' dixie land in 
Jesus' name
Am
Amen

Am
Was the mines that killed my daddy
Was the law that killed my man
E                                 
Was the bible belt that whipped me
                         Am
 when I broke the fifth command
Am
I don't hate the weather
I don't hate the land
E                                 
But if I had my way I'd never see 
             Am
this place again


C
 When I cross that line man I'll 
sing a brand new song
E
instead of sitting here by the 
railroad tracks whilstlin'
Am
dixie all day long
C
I'm so tired of paying and praying 
for my sins
E
Lord get me out o' dixie land in 
Jesus' name
Am
Amen

Am
When I tread out of these parts look
 me up on the other side
E                                 
Cos I'll be damned if I go down in
             Am
 dixie when I die
E                                 
Yeah I'll be damned if I go down 
               Am
in dixie when I die
