South Of Cincinnati Lyrics - Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. - Dwight Yoakam

(d. yoakam) 

Chorus: 

If you ever get south of Cincinnati down where the dogwood trees grow 

If you ever get south of the Mason-Dixon to the home you left so long ago 

If you ever get south of the Ohio River down where Dixieland begins 

If you ever get south of Cincinnati I'll be yours again 

She pulled the letter from the pages of her Bible 

And a rose pressed inside the book of Luke 

For fourteen years she'd write each day but keep it hidden 

Refused to even speak his name, but still she wrote

Chorus: 

If you ever get south of Cincinnati down where the dogwood trees grow 

If you ever get south of the Mason-Dixon to the home you left so long ago 

If you ever get south of the Ohio River down where Dixieland begins 

If you ever get south of Cincinnati I'll be yours again 

At a cold gray apartment in Chicago 

A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin 

He lies there drunk, but it don't matter drunk or sober 

He'll never read the words that pride won't let her send
