So Long Dixie

Composed by：Tim Foust/Matthew Austin Brown/Adam Craig Scott Wakefield/Chris Chatham

I'm heading off alone but you should know

I'm leaving you behind but you're with me where I go

You've been good to me and far as I can see

I never would have got here on my own

You taught me how to work and how to play

You taught me how to cuss and how to pray

You showed me wrong from right when to stand and fight

And when it's time to walk away

So Long Dixie it's time to let you go

It's awful hard to do with roots this strong

You're just on the wrong end of a one way road

I know you'll always echo in my song

I've loved you in my way

That's why it hurts to say so long

I sure as hell ain't saying I'm ashamed

I'm proud of where I was born and how I was raised

You can't erase the past but it ain't meant to last

And it's time we start to learn from our mistakes

So Long Dixie it's time to let you go

It's awful hard to do with roots this strong

You're just on the wrong end of a one way road

I know you'll always echo in my song

I've loved you in my way

That's why it hurts to say so long

So Long Dixie it's time to let you go

Its awful hard to do with roots this strong

You're just on the wrong end of a one way road

I know you'll always echo in my song

I've loved you in my way

That's why it hurts to say so long

I've loved you in my way

It hurts to have to say

So Long
