Am 
If I ever get out of dixie 
Ima buy me some brand new shoes 
E                                                    Am 
I'm gonna have somebody shine 'em up soon as I pay my dues 
Am 
If I ever get out of Tennessee 
Out from 'neath this dust and dirt 
E                                                           Am 
I'm gonna live just like a high and mighty gonna get what I deserve 


C 
When I cross that line man I'll sing a brand new song 
E                                           
instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whilstlin' 
Am 
dixie all day long 
C 
I'm so tired of paying and praying for my sins 
E 
Lord get me out o' dixie land in Jesus' name 
Am 
Amen 


Am 
Was the mines that killed my daddy 
Was the law that killed my man 
E                                                          Am 
Was the bible belt that whipped me when I broke the fifth command 
Am 
I don't hate the weather 
I don't hate the land 
E                                              Am 
But if I had my way I'd never see this place again 


C 
 When I cross that line man I'll sing a brand new song 
E                                           
instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whilstlin' 
Am 
dixie all day long 
C 
I'm so tired of paying and praying for my sins 
E 
Lord get me out o' dixie land in Jesus' name 
Am 
Amen

When I cross that line man I'll sing a brand new song 
E

Am

I'm so tired of paying and praying for my sins

Am 
When I tread out of these parts look me up on the other side 
E                                              Am 
Cos I'll be damned if I go down in dixie when I die 
E                                                Am 
Yeah I'll be damned if I go down in dixie when I die
