Alan Jackson (Featuring Zac Brown) - "Dixie Highway"

I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red lay and Georgia Pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find

A wood frame house and a gravel driveway
Willow trees, an old front porch
Just outside the city limits
Down ol' Highway 34

I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red lay and Georgia Pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find

Had rabbit tobacco growing on the roadside
Rolled it up and we smoked it down
It don't do much but it makes you feel big
When you're ten years old in a tiny town

I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red lay and Georgia Pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find

Had a chicken pen right in the backyard
Clothes line running east to west
Butter bean and tomato garden
Six days and a Sunday rest

I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red lay and Georgia Pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find

Summertime, hot and hazy
Bare feet and a water hose
Melon rinds on a concrete table
Lighting bugs when the sun goes down

I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red lay and Georgia Pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find

The holy Ghost on Sunday Morning
Gospel songs and the Bible read
Sunday lunch at Mama's table
Thank the Lord and break the bread

I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red lay and Georgia Pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find

Had a screened in porch right out the backdoor
A washing machine and old wood stove
Mama singing in the kitchen
Rollin' homemade biscuit dough

I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red lay and Georgia Pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find

When I'm old, heaven's calling
And they come to carry me away
Just lay me down, down in the South Land
Bury me in the Georgia Clay

I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red lay and Georgia Pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find
No sweeter place you'll ever find
No sweeter place you'll ever find
