I Sang Dixie Lyrics - Dwight Yoakam

I sang Dixie as he died 

People just walked on by as I cried 

The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride 

So I sang Dixie as he died 

He said way down yonder in the land of cotton 

Old times there ain't near as rotten 

As they are on this damned old L.A. street 

Then he drew a dying breath 

And laid his head against my chest 

Please Lord, take his soul back home to Dixie

And I sang Dixie as he died 

People just walked on by as I cried 

The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride 

So I sang Dixie as he died 

He said listen to me son while you still can 

Run back home to that Southern land 

Don't you see what life here has done to me 

Then he closed those old blue eyes 

And fell limp against my side 

No more pain, now he's safe back home in Dixie
