A Long Ways Away From Dixie Lyrics

Sitting in an airport lounge, this side of Paris, France

There's an old man on the fiddle, but I don't know how to dance

Cause, that ain't country that he's playing, and it sure ain't rock and roll

I can't live without Merle Haggard and I'm a long, long way from home

I'm a long ways away from Dixie

Misty mountain mornings, sweet magnolia nights

I'm a long ways away from Dixie

And Dixie's where I wish I was, tonight

Holding some sweet young southern lady tight

I'd hopped a plane in New York City, destination Tennessee

Hit the darnedest streak of bad luck and I guess the jokes on me

Lord, I knew this wasn't Dixie when I stepped off of the plane

Won't you help me find a ticket home, before I go insane

I'm a long ways away from Dixie

Misty mountain mornings, sweet magnolia nights

I'm a long ways away from Dixie

And Dixie's where I wish I was, tonight

Holding some sweet young southern lady tight

I'm a long ways away from Dixie

Misty mountain mornings, sweet magnolia nights

I'm a long ways away from Dixie

And Dixie's where I wish I was, tonight

Holding some sweet young southern lady tight

Holding some sweet young southern lady tight
