Dixie On My Mind

All the stations up here don't sign off with Dixie The way they did in sweet home Alabama And the people here don't sip Jack Daniels whiskey The way they do in that Tennessee mountain land I've always heard lots about the big apple So, I thought I'd come up here and see But all I've seen so far is one big hassle Wish I was camped out on the Okeechobee If this is the promised land, I've had all I can stand And I'm headed back below that Dixie line No, I just don't fit in, and I'll never come back again But I'm busted here, I got Dixie on my mind Oh, I'm stuck up here, and I got Dixie on my mind, yee-ha! These people never smile, or say a word They're all too busy tryin' to make an extra dime Oh, I'd love to haul 'em all down around Spartanburg And show 'em how to raise hell in Caroline All the things you know that I miss most of all Is the freedom of the rivers and the pines They don't do much huntin' and fishin' up here, you know But I have met a few squirrels and one porcupine Well, if this is the promised land, I've had all I can stand Wish I was down in Houston town tonight Now, I just don't fit in, and I'll never come back again But I'm busted here with Dixie on my mind Oh, I'm stuck up here, I got Dixie on my mind
