She had a dead-end job
at the National Bank
And a deadbeat husband
who always drank
So when he didn't come home
She had the gin to thank
For the tears in her eyes
So Dixie packed up
And said her goodbyes
And she went
Drivin' so far away
Nobody's gonna find her
Flyin' just fast enough
to leave it all behind her
But she didn't know
'til she hit the road
Deep in her soul
She's got the fire
And the fight of a gypsy
Ain't nothin' stronger
than the heart of Dixie
The heart of Dixie
It's a funny thing
When your world falls down
It's got a way of showin' you
what you're all about
Now Dixie's got her wheels
pointed south
And she ain't
never lookin' back
And nobody knew
She was brave like that
And she went
Drivin' so far away
Nobody's gonna find her
Flyin' just fast enough
to leave it all behind her
But she didn't know
'Til she hit the road
Deep in her soul
She's got the fire
And the fight of a gypsy
Ain't nothin' stronger
than the heart of Dixie
The heart of Dixie
Yeah Dixie woke up
to the truth one day
Grabbed her
cheap sunglasses
And her lipstick case
And she went
Drivin' so far away
Nobody's gonna find her
Flyin' just fast enough
to leave it all behind her
But she didn't know
'til she hit the road
Deep in her soul
She's got the fire
And the fight of a gypsy
Ain't nothin' stronger
than the heart of Dixie
The heart of Dixie
Oo oo oo oo oo oo
The heart of Dixie
Oh oh oh oh
