She had a dead end job
at the National Bank
And a deadbeat husband
who always drank
So when he didn't come home
She had the gin to thank
For the tears in her eyes
So Dixie packed up
and said her goodbyes
She went driving
So far away
nobody's gonna find her
Flying
Just fast enough
to leave it all behind her
But she didn't know
Till she hit the road
Deep in her soul
She's got the fire
and the fight of a gypsy
Ain't nothing stronger
than the heart of Dixie
The heart of Dixie
It's a funny thing
when your world falls down
It's got a way of showing you
what you're all about
Now Dixie's got her
wheels pointed south
And she ain't never looking back
Nobody knew
she was brave like that
She went driving
So far away
nobody's gonna find her
Flying
Just fast enough
to leave it all behind her
But she didn't know
Till she hit the road
Deep in her soul
She's got the fire
and the fight of a gypsy
Ain't nothing stronger
than the heart of Dixie
The heart of Dixie
Yeah Dixie woke up
to the truth one day
Grabbed her cheap sunglasses
And her lipstick case
And she went driving
So far away
nobody's gonna find her
Flying
Just fast enough
to leave it all behind her
But she didn't know
Till she hit the road
Deep in her soul
She's got the fire
and the fight of a gypsy
Ain't nothing stronger
than the heart of Dixie
The heart of Dixie
O o oh
The heart of Dixie
O o oh
