Lyrics:

When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton
The first time you leave it can be strange it can be shocking

Not everybody drives a truck not everybody drinks sweet tea
Not everybody owns a gun wears a ball cap boots and jeans
Not everybody goes to church or watches every nascar race
Not everybody knows the words to 'ring of fire' or 'amazing grace'

Chorus:
Oh dixie land
I hope you understand
When i miss my tennessee home
And i been away way too long
I can't see this world unless i go
Outside my southern comfort zone

I have walked the streets of rome i have been to foreign lands
I know what it's like to talk and have nobody understand
I have seen the eiffel tower lit up on a paris night
I have kissed a west coast girl underneath the northern lights
I know what it's like to meet the only one like me
To take a good hard look around and be a minority

And i miss my tennessee home
I can see the ways that i grown
I can't see this world unless i go
Outside my southern comfort zone

I miss your biscuits and your gravy
Fireflies dancing in the night
You have fed me and saved me
Billy graham and martha white

I have since become a gypsy
And i just can't wait to pack
Cause i know the route i leave on
It will always bring me back

(solo)

Chorus

I wish i was in dixie again
I miss my tennessee home
I've been away way too long
I can't see this world unless i go
Outside my southern comfort zone

Look away look away

(chorus: i wish i was in dixie away look away)
