Highway Headin' South Lyrics - Dolly Parton

Chorus: 

Oh, on a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie 

Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly 

I'm gonna rest these chillin' bones in the Southern sunshine 

And live where the weather's warm until I die 

North Dakota, you got my better years 

Montana, you got five years of my life 

But the earth's sub-zero wind will never touch me again 

A Southern girl can't live on snow and ice

Repeat Chorus 

When I cross the Dixie line, I'll throw away my coat 

And my goose-down underwear will have to go 

I'll never live again where the weather chills you to the bone 

I'm tired of livin' like an Eskimo 

Repeat Chorus

On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie 

Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly 

I'm gonna rest these willin' bones in the Southern sunshine 

And live where the weather's warm until I die
