Dwight Yoakam - I Sang Dixie Lyrics
(dwight yoakam)Chorus:I sang dixie as he diedThe people just walked on by as I criedThe bottle had robbed him of all his rebel prideSo I sang dixie as he diedHe said way down yonder in the land of cottonOld times there arent near as rotten as they areOn this damned old l.a. streetThen he drew a dying breatheAnd laid his head against my chestPlease lord, take his soul back home to dixieChorus:I sang dixie as he diedThe people just walked on by as I criedThe bottle had robbed him of all his rebel prideSo I sang dixie as he diedHe said listen to me son while you still canRun back home to that southern landDont you see what life here has done to me?Then he closed those old blue eyesAnd fell limp against my sideNo more pain, now hes safe back home in dixieChorus:I sang dixie as he diedThe people just walked on by as I criedThe bottle had robbed him of all his rebel prideSo I sang dixie as he diedI sang dixie as he died
