Blues
Well I?m drivin? through Ocala
Down 75
And the love I?ve got for that girl
Sets me on fire
And I can?t wait to taste a slice of that Georgia pie
When I get to Atlanta
I?m really gonna live it up
?Cause my Georgia girl knows
Just how to pour a cup
Yeah, two parts bourbon and a whole lot
Of lovin? you up
Chorus:
?Cause I drink my whiskey
In a Dixie Cup
Yeah I like my whiskey
In a Dixie Cup
Well a country girl knows a good boy
Can?t get enough
I got a friend in Savannah
She loves to take me down
And she grows the finest gold
For miles around
The way she lights me up my feet don?t ever
Touch the ground
Chorus
Solo
She got okra fryin?
Biscuits and gravy on the side
She rubs my back
Makes me feel so fine
Well whatever she?s cookin?
It?s always gonna be southern fried
Chorus
