The King Of Dixie Lyrics

We're talking Tupelo was about a fast train
Headed toward the world like a mad hurricane
When he finally hit the ground, he tore us all apart
He was born to be a light in the darkNow miles from Mississippi down some distant shore
He's blazed a trail of glory and a whole lot more
Like some shooting star we've never seen before
I'm talking 'bout the one that opened up the doorThe King of Dixie, he's still around
The King of Dixie, in every town
The King of Dixie no he ain't gone
The King of Dixie's still on the throneThe King of Dixie tried and true
Still rockin' away me and you
The King of Dixie is you know who
I said long live the King of DixieThere was a man from Montgomery, lonesome to the bone
He only stayed a while, this world was not his home
It seemed like on behalf of broken hearts he's sing
And with every word he was calling my nameNow he's from Alabama where he first saw the light
There ain't a heart in heaven gonna cheat on him tonight
I can see him now, decked out in white

Sending down the word that every thing's all rightThe King of Dixie, he's still around
The King of Dixie, in every town
The King of Dixie, no he ain't gone
The King of Dixie's still on the throneThe King of Dixie, tried and true
Still rockin' away me and you
The King of Dixie is you know who
I said long live the King of DixieThe King of Dixie, he's still around
The King of Dixie, in every town
The King of Dixie, no he ain't gone
The King of Dixie's still on the throneThe King of Dixie, tried and true
Still rockin' away me and you
The King of Dixie is you know who
I said long live the King, long live the King of Dixie
