Crossin' Dixie - Wayne Mills Band Lyrics
Crossin' Dixie
Tired of my surroundings, I need a little time away from home
Tired of living that narrow road and got the urge to roam
So I packed up my saddle bag and headed on down the line
Looking back on that little town Lord I’m leaving it far behind
V2
I was crossin’ Dixie wondering if I’d ever see her again
Crossin’ Dixie I got my steel horse laid back in the wind
How could the best of ole Milwaukee be any better than this… I was crossin’ Dixie
A E D (2x)
V3
I took a left on that old highway determined to give it my best
With a world of time and a open mind I was heading west
The Colorado Rockies started coming into view
It was nothing I’d ever seen or ever knew
V4
I was crossin’ Denver thinking that I’d found me a new home
Crossin’ Denver now I realize why I decided to roam
Some people say it’s heaven and from the looks I could agree
It took lots of time for me to find that it’s much too high for me
(Bridge)
There’s something about a southern wind while it’s whistling through the pines
And the mighty arms of the great white oaks been holding me just fine
There’s something about a southern belle that keeps me in line
And it all came clear as my horse was nearing that Mason Dixon Line
AED
And I was crossin’ Dixie, I’m coming home, I coming home to stay
Crossin’ Dixie I learned my lesson in the time I spent away about crossin’ Dixie
