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

A
Crossin’
Dixie I learned
my lesson in the time I spent away about crossin’ Dixie

I’ll
see you in that sweet by and by

I
pray I always float above the trees / soaring high searching
for my dreams
I
know some day I’ll have to land / when I do I hope it’s
in sand
I’ll
rest there until the day I die
Then
I’ll fly, fly, and fly………

just bought a lot of
Wiggle

HEY!

Three

We get
there and we raise some hell, the orders come
out and I began to smell
Moons
over MyHammy for me
HEY!
(chorus)
I wake
up and feel like sin, tell myself that lie
again
Yall

But
when night time rolls around you know where we
can all be found
Diggin’
in our pocket’s for another cold beer
HEY!
(chorus
