Alabama - Dixie Boy Lyrics

Words and Music by Jim McBride

Iwas raised in the shadow of an old cotton

Mill back when believin' was in

Style.

Smalltown heaven and a big-eyed boy made sweet music for a while.

My daddy worked hard down at the facotry.

Nights he went to G.I. school.

He didn't know nothin' 'bout the silver

Spoon but he lived by the golden

Rule.

Summer nights he was gone; me and mama

Stayed home out on the front porch

Swing wishin' on the stars in the southern

Sky and sometimes we used to

Sing.

We were leaning leaning on the everlasting

Arms of love livin' all the

Simple joys this Dixie boy is made of.

Got my real educationfrom the T.V. station

And good ole boys down at the

Park.

The say "Hey Willie" and those

Rock-a-billies played their way into my

Heart.

I remember the old folks sittin' 'round talkin' on laidback Sunday

Afternoons.

They said them young folks sure got a hard road.

Oh they're growin' up too soon.

Now I know they were right and as I sit here

Tonight out on the front porch

Swing the stars are shinin' in my young

Boy's eyes just like they did for

Me;

We are leaning leaning on the everlasting

Arms of love livin' all the

Simple joys this Dixie boy is made of.
