Dwight Yoakam - I Sang Dixie

Music Video

Song Lyrics


I SANG DIXIE


I sang Dixie...as he died
The people just walked on by....as I cried
The bottle had robbed him .....of all his rebel pride
So I sang Dixie as he died

He said way down yonder in the land of cotton
Old times there ain`t near as rotten as they are
On this damned old LA street
Then he drew a dying breath and laid his head against my chest
Please Lord ....take his soul back home to Dixie

I sang Dixie ...as he died...
People just walked on by ..as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So I sang Dixie as he died

[ steel - fiddle ]

He said listen to me son while you still can
Run back home to that southern land
Don`t you see.. ...what life here has done to me
Then he closed those old blue eyes and fell limp against my side
No more pain ...now he`s safe... back home in Dixie

I sang Dixie as he died.
People just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride..
I sang Dixie as he died
I sang Dixie as he died
