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".
Chorus:
Oh, Dixie Land,
I hope you understand
When I miss my Tennessee Home
And I been away way too 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 be the only one like me,
To take a good hard look around and be a minority
And I Miss my Tennessee home
I can see the ways that I grown
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 and saved me
Billy Graham and Martha White
I have 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
(Solo)
(Backing: I wish I was in Dixie, away, look away)
Chorus
I wish I was in Dixie Again
I miss my Tennessee Home
I've been away way too long
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside My Southern Comfort Zone
Look away, look away
(Chorus: I wish I was in dixie, away, look away)
