She had a dead-end job at the national bank And a deadbeat husband who always drank So when he didnt come home he had the gin to thank For the tears in her eyes So Dixie packed up and said her goodbyes
And she went driving so far away nobodys gonna find her Flyin just fast enough to leave it all behind her But she didnt know til she hit the road, deep in her soul Shes got the fire and the fight of the Gypsy Aint nothing stronger than the heart of Dixie The heart of Dixie
Its a funny thing when your world falls down Its got a way of showing you what youre all about Now Dixies got her wheels pointed south She aint never looking back And nobody knew she must leave like that
And she went driving so far away nobodys gonna find her Flyin just fast enough to leave it all behind her But she didnt know til she hit the road, deep in her soul Shes got the fire and the fight of the Gypsy Aint nothing stronger than the heart of Dixie The heart of Dixie
Yeah Dixie woke up to the truth one day Grabbed her cheap sun glasses and a lipstick case
And she went driving so far away nobodys gonna find her Flyin just fast enough to leave it all behind her But she didnt know til she hit the road, deep in her soul Shes got the fire and the fight of the Gypsy Aint nothing stronger than the heart of Dixie The heart of Dixie
