  			G                                  D   
Rollin' down a backwoods Tennessee byway 
Em                 C   
Got one arm on the wheel 
               G              D  
I'm holdin' my lover with the other 
  Em                   C  
A sweet, soft Southern thrill 
            G                      D 
Worked hard all week, got a little jingle 
     Em                 C 
On a Tennessee Saturday night 
              G             D 
Couldn't feel better, I'm together 
        Cm          G 
With my Dixieland delight 
 
         D 
Spend my dollar 
                 Em                             C   
Parked down in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight 
         G 
Hold her up tight 
              D  
Make a little lovin' 
                     Em                      C 
Said a little turtle-dovin' on a Mason-Dixon night 
        Em           C 
Fits my life, Oh, so right 
   Cm          G 
My Dixieland delight 
 
 
Whitetail buck deer munchin' on clover 
Redtail hawk sittin' on a limb 
Chubby old groundhog, a croakin' bullfrog 
As free as a feelin' in the wind 
Homegrown country girl 
Yeah she's gonna give me a whirl 
On a Tennessee Saturday night 
Lucky as sevens, livin' in heaven 
With my Dixieland Delight
