Lyrics and Music by Benny Leverton
written and recorded 5/22/2006
Smell the jasmine and magnolia in the air
It's summertime in Dixie, and it's gettin hot down here.
Feel the breeze blowin through your hair
You can hear the music it's playin everywhere
on the radio, or any place you go, bout this time of year.
Boats on the water, wave runners everywhere, go swimmin, go fishin, just tanning in your chair.
Grilling out some burgers, playin horseshoes til dawn, break out those flat tops everybody sing along cause it's,
Summertime in Dixie were gonna have a ball
Summertime in Dixie won't you come and help us y'all
Summertime in Dixie not a care in the world
Summertime in Dixie for me and my girl
Feel the breeze blowin through your hair
you can hear the music playin everywhere
on the radio yeah yeah yeah
Baseball and hotdogs, and cold drinks chilled on ice, full moon, lights up that pretty southern sky, but nothing like the fireworks on the 4th of July
