Lyrics
i've been missing dixie
i've been missing dixie
why in the world did i ever roam
i've been missing dixie
i've been missing dixie
my lessons learned and i'm going home
got my ticket in my hand
this time i'm going to use it
i tried to make my stand like a man
but my heart would just confuse it
so i am going back to where my life began
i'm taking this old track home again
i've been missing dixie
i've been missing dixie
why in the world did i ever roam
i've been missing dixie
i've been missing dixie
my lessons learned and i'm going home
there's no better place no better space
on the face of this earth
i got caught up in the pace of the race
and i learned that it's a curse
to be so far away from where my life began
and now i'm on my way home again
i've been missing dixie
i've been missing dixie
why in the world did i ever roam
i've been missing dixie
i've been missing dixie
my lessons learned and i'm going home
i can hear a banjo picking through a breakdown
i can hear my momma's voice calling out to me at sundown
i can see the bluegrass sway
back where my life began
and now i'm on my was home again
i've been missing dixie
i've been missing dixie
why in the world did i ever roam
i've been missing dixie
i've been missing dixie
my lessons learned and i'm going home
