That’s My Dixie - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

There's folks out there that'll judge a man by the color of his skin

There's still a fight over wrong and right that no one ever wins

I know somewhere there's hate out there, but don't hold that against me

Ooh, 'cause that ain't my Dixie

It's who I am, Mr. Give-A-Damn for the ones who came before me

The broken part of a southern heart that's more than just Old Glory

It's a state of mind as deep and wide and strong as the Mississippi

We sing Amazing Grace and curse the hеat

Yeah, that's my Dixie

And now days you just can't beliеve what you see on the news

'Round here we ain't just Black and white 'cause we're all red, white and blue

They're turnin' these towns into battle grounds and that don't sit well with me

Ooh, 'cause that ain't my Dixie

It's who I am, Mr. Give-A-Damn for the ones who came before me

The broken part of a southern heart that's more than just Old Glory

It's a state of mind as deep and wide and strong as the Mississippi

We sing Amazing Grace and curse the heat

Yeah, that's my Dixie

That's my Dixie

It's homemade pies and Georgia pines

Old bird dogs and Spanish moss

It's mama's tea that's way too sweet

It's, "Come on in and have a seat"

Yeah, that's my Dixie

It's who I am, Mr. Give-A-Damn for the ones who came before me

The broken part of a southern heart that's more than just Old Glory

It's a state of mind as deep and wide and strong as the Mississippi

We sing Amazing Grace and curse the heat

Yeah, that's my Dixie

That's my Dixie (Yeah, that's my Dixie)
