the heart of dixie

she had a dead-end job at the national bank, and a deadbeat husband who always drank, so when he didn't come home, she had the gin to thank for the tears in her eyes, so dixie packed up and said her goodbyes, she went driving so far away nobody's gonna find her, flying just fast enough, to leave it all behind her, but she didn't know till she hit the road, deep in her soul, she's got the fire and the fight of a gypsy, ain't nothing stronger than the heart of dixie, the heart of dixie, it's a funny thing when your world falls down, it's got a way of showing you what you're all about, now dixie's got her wheels pointed south, and she ain't never looking back, nobody knew she was brave like that, she went driving so far away nobody's gonna find her, flying just fast enough, to leave it all behind her, but she didn't know till she hit the road, deep in her soul, she's got the fire and the fight of a gypsy, ain't nothing stronger than the heart of dixie, the heart of dixie, yeah dixie woke up to the truth one day, grabbed her cheap sunglasses and her lipstick case, and she went driving so far away nobody's gonna find her, flying just fast enough, to leave it all behind her, but she didn't know till she hit the road, deep in her soul, she's got the fire and the fight of a gypsy, ain't nothing stronger than the heart of dixie, the heart of dixie, o-o-oh, the heart of dixie, o-o-oh
