That's My Dixie

Folks out there, they’ll judge a man on the color of his skin
There’s still a fight over wrong and right that no one ever wins
I know somewhere, there’s hate out there
But don’t hold that against me
Ooh, 'cause that ain’t my Dixie
It’s who I am
Mr. give a damn
For the ones that came before me
The broken part of a southern heart is more than just Old Glory
It’s a state of mind that’s deep and wide and strong as the Mississippi
We sing Amazing Grace and curse the heat
Yah, that’s my Dixie
These days you just can’t blieve what you see on the news
'Round here we ain’t just black and white
We’re all red, white, and blue
They’re turnin' these towns into battle grounds
And that don’t sit well with me
Ooh, 'cause that ain’t my Dixie
It’s who I am
Mr. give a damn
For the ones that came before me
The broken part of a southern heart is more than just Old Glory
It’s a state of mind that’s deep and wide and strong as the Mississippi
We sing Amazing Grace and curse the heat
Yeah, that’s my Dixie
It’s homemade pies and Georgia pines
Old bird dogs and Spanish moss
It’s mama’s tea that’s way too sweet
It’s come on in and have a seat
Yeah that’s my Dixie
It’s who I am
Mr. give a damn
For the ones that came before me
The broken part of a southern heart is more than just Old Glory
It’s a state of mind that’s deep and wide and strong as the Mississippi
We sing Amazing Grace and curse the heat
Yeah, that’s my Dixie
Yeah, that’s my Dixie
