intro:
verse 1:
Tired of my surroundings, I need a little time away from home
Tired of livin that narrow road, I got the urge to roam
I packed up my saddle bags, I'm headin on down the line
Lookin back on that little town, Lord I'm leavin it far behind.
chorus:
As I was crossin dixie thinkin that I, I'd never see her again
Crossin dixie I got my steel horse laid back in the wind
Those fields I plowed and starry nights I know I'm sure to miss
How could the best of old Milwaukee be any better than this
As I was crossin dixie
verse 2:
I took a left on that old highway, determined to give it my best
With an open mind and a world of time I was headin west
The Calarado Rockies started comin into view
It was like nothin I'd ever seen, or ever knew
chorus:
As I was crossin Denver, thinkin that I, I'd found me a new home
Crossin Denver now I realized, why I decided to roam
Some people say it's heaven, and by the looks I could agree
It took lots of time for me to find that it's much to high for me
bridge:
Cause theres somethin bout a southern wind while it's whistlin through the
pines
And the mighty arms of the great white oaks been holdin me just fine
Theres somethin bout a southern bell that always keeps me in line
And it all came clear as my horse was nearin that mason dixon line
chorus:
As I was crossin dixie comin home, I'm comin home to stay
Crossin dixie I learned my lesson in the time I was away
Bout crossin dixie
through end
