Verses
Tired of my surroundings, I need a little time away from home
Tired of living that narrow road and got the urge to roam
So I packed up my saddle bag and headed on down the line
Looking back on that little town Lord Im leaving it far behind
V2
I was crossin Dixie wondering if Id ever see her again
Crossin Dixie I got my steel horse laid back in the wind
Those fields of white and starlit nights you know Ill surely miss
How could the best of ole Milwaukee be any better than this I was crossin Dixie
A E D (2x)
V3
I took a left on that old highway determined to give it my best
With a world of time and a open mind I was heading west
The Colorado Rockies started coming into view
It was nothing Id ever seen or ever knew
V4
I was crossin Denver thinking that Id found me a new home
Crossin Denver now I realize why I decided to roam
Some people say its heaven and from the looks I could agree
It took lots of time for me to find that its much too high for me
(Bridge)
Theres something about a southern wind while its whistling through the pines
And the mighty arms of the great white oaks been holding me just fine
Theres something about a southern belle that keeps me in line
And it all came clear as my horse was nearing that Mason Dixon Line
AED
And I was crossin Dixie, Im coming home, I coming home to stay
Crossin Dixie I learned my lesson in the time I spent away about crossin Dixie
Tired of my surroundings, I need a little time away from home
Tired of living that narrow road and got the urge to roam
So I packed up my saddle bag and headed on down the line
Looking back on that little town Lord Im leaving it far behind
