"Dixie Highway" lyrics

Dixie Highway

(With Zac Brown)

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

With frame house and grandma driveway
With the trees and old front porch
Just outside the city limits
Down on the highway 34

Yeah I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red play and Georgia pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find

And having tobacco rolling on the roadside
Rolled it up and we smoked it down
Don't feel much, but it makes you feel big
When you're ten years old in a tiny town

Yeah I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red play and Georgia pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find

Have a chicken meal right in the backyard
Close line running east to west
Water bane to make a garden
Six days and a sun to rest

Yeah I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red play 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 and lime on a country table
Lighting the buds when the sun goes down

I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red play and Georgia pines
Yeah I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find

And the holy ghost on a Sunday morning
Gospel songs and a Bible read
Sunday lunch at momma's table
Praying for Lord and break the bread

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

And I screamed in porch right at the backdoor
Washing machine and an old, old stove
Momma's singing in the kitchen
Rolling homemade biscuit dough

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

When I'm old and Heaven's calling
And they come to care me away
Just lay me down, down in soft land
Here where me and Jordan play

I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red play 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
