I've played everywhere from New York to Japan
But nothing in my journey can change this Southern man
I know where my heart belongs
In Carolina singin' songs
I just wanna be in good ol' Dixie

Just give me the southern culture and the pretty girls
A code of living in a changing world
The kind of place to raise a family
Thank God for good ol' Dixie

Rollin down the highway, finally headin' home
My tired body's catchin' up where my heart's been all along
I can't wait to see the sights
Tailgate parties and the football nights
I'm just proud to be in good ol' Dixie

Just give me the southern culture and the pretty girls
A code of living in a changing world
The kind of place to raise a family
Workin' long and playin' hard
Late night drankin' in the backyard
Home to all my favorite memories
Thank God for good ol' Dixie

I love my country, I'm a patriotic man
But I'm at my very best when I'm in the Southland

Just give me the southern culture and the pretty girls
A code of living in a changing world
The kind of place to raise a family
Workin' long and playin' hard
Late night drankin' in the backyard
Home to all my favorite memories
Just give me Alabama, Mississippi pride
South Carolina on a Saturday night
Georgia peaches, Rocky Top Tennessee
I thank God, oh oh
I thank God, yea yea
I thank God for good ol' Dixie
