If It Ain't Dixie (It Won't Do)

Oh, I love those Colorado Rockies

And that big starry Montana sky

And the lights of San Francisco

On a California night

Enjoyed those ballgames in Chicago

On those windy afternoons

It's a big beautiful country

But I'm never home too soon

It ain't Dixie, it won't do

If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like home

My southern blood runs deep and true, oh yeah

I've had good times North of the line

I've got a lot of good friends too

But if it ain't Dixie, it won't do, it won't do

When the leaves turn in New England

I love the chill that's in the air

I've walked the New York City sidewalks

Had a big time in Times Square

But now my wheels, they're rollin' southward

Heaven's comin' into view, oh yeah

Home sweet home is Alabama

That's what I look forward to

If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like home

My southern blood runs deep and true, oh yeah

I've had good times North of the line

Got a lot of good friends too

If it ain't Dixie, it won't do

If it ain't Dixie, if it ain't Dixie

Oh no, no, oh no, oh yeah, oh yeah

Now my wheels are rollin' southward

And Heaven's comin' into view, oh yeah

Home sweet home is Alabama

That's what I look forward to

If it ain't Dixie, it won't do

If it ain't Dixie, oh no, oh yeah
