Southern Comfort Zone

(Hey Barn, look what Aunt Bea just brought by)

(Lemon merengue pie)

(You may be a redneck)

(They're all wrecking behind me)

(Coming off of turn four, he wins the Southern 500)

(Grab the wife, coming to you live)

(From Nashville country)

When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton

The first time you leave it can be strange

It can be shocking

Not everybody drives a truck

Not everybody drinks sweet tea

Not everybody owns a gun

Wears a ball cap, boots and jeans

Not everybody goes to church

Or watches every NASCAR race

Not everybody knows the words

To Ring of Fire or Amazing Grace

Oh, Dixieland

I hope you understand

When I miss my Tennessee home

And I been away way to long

I can't see this world unless I go

Outside my Southern Comfort zone

I have walked the streets of Rome

I have been to foreign lands

I know what it's like to talk and have nobody understand

I have seen the Eiffel Tower lit up on a Paris night

I have kissed a West Coast girl

Underneath the Northern lights

I know what it's like to meet the only one like me

To take a good, hard look around

And be a minority, now

I miss my Tennessee home

But I can see the ways that I've grown

And I can't see this world unless I go

Outside my Southern Comfort zone

I miss your biscuits and your gravy

Fireflies dancing in the night

You have fed me, you have saved me

Billy Graham and Martha White

But I've since become a drifter

And I just can't wait to pack

'Cause I know the road I leave on

It will always bring me back

(I wish I was in Dixie, away)

And I miss my Tennessee home

When I been away, way too long

I can't see this world unless I go

Outside my Southern Comfort zone

Look away, look away

(I wish I was in Dixie, away, look away)

(I wish I was in the land of cotton)

(What are we having for supper?)

(Well, you and Aunt Bea's having fried chicken)

(Of that truth, because some us are going to church)

(And you won't be able to stay here)

(You'll be called to far away places) Away

(Many of you to foreign places)

(We're not sure where you're resting)

(But it's a beautiful night in Nashville, Tennessee)

(And we're delighted to have you tuned in)

(To live and die in Dixie)

(In Dixie)
