Dixie Boy Full Lyrics
[00:12.97] I was raised in the shadows of an old cotton mill
[00:17.95] Back when believin' was the style
[00:22.69] Small town heaven and a big-eyed boy
[00:27.13] Made sweet music for a while
[00:31.57] My daddy worked hard down at the factory
[00:36.27] Nights he went to G.I. school
[00:40.35] He didn't know nothin' 'bout the silver spoon
[00:44.53] But he lived by the golden rule
[00:50.55] Summer nights he was gone, me and mama stayed home
[00:55.94] Out on the front porch swing
[00:59.90] Wishin' on the stars in the southern sky
[01:04.27] And sometimes we used to sing
[01:07.67] We were leaning, leaning on
[01:12.71] The everlasting arms of love
[01:17.98] Livin' all those simple joys
[01:21.35] This dixie boy is made of
[01:24.74]
[01:40.41] Got my real education from the T.V. station
[01:45.53] And good ol' boys down at the park
[01:49.61] The say hey, Willie and those rock-a-billies
[01:54.47] Made their way into my heart
[01:57.79] I remember the old folks sittin' 'round talkin'
[02:02.69] On laidback Sunday afternoons
[02:06.89] They said, "Them young folks sure got a hard road
[02:11.92] Oh, they're growin' up too soon"
[02:17.03] Now I know they were right, and as I sit here tonight
[02:22.08] Out on the front porch swing
[02:26.46] The stars are shinin' in my young boy's eyes
[02:30.74] Just like they did for me
[02:34.00] We are leaning, leaning on
[02:39.29] The everlasting arms of love
[02:44.32] Livin' all those simple joys
[02:47.98] This dixie boy is made of
[02:51.25] We are leaning, leaning on
[02:56.52] The everlasting arms of love
[03:01.51] Livin' all those simple joys
[03:05.12] This dixie boy is made of
[03:08.39]
