Dixie Lyrics - Lynyrd Skynyrd

New york city is a thousand miles away 

And if you ask me, I'll tell you that's ok 

Now I'm not trying to put the big apple down 

'Cause they don't need a man like me in town 

I pick cotton down on the dixie line 

Work hard all day tryin' to make a dime 

But that's allright, that's ok by me 

'Cause that's the way that it was meant to be 

Big city, hard times don't bother me 

I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be 

I don't like smoke chokin' up my air 

And some of those city folks well they don't care 

I don't like cars buzzing around 

I don't even want a piece of concrete in my town 

I like sunshine, fresh clean air 

Makes me feel like you wouldn't care but 

That's all right, each to his own 

But one smell from the city 

And this country boy is gone 

Big city, hard times don't bother me 

I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be 

Well, I don't want to even read about it 

Let me tell you something, let me tell you true 

What's right for me might not be right for you 

Well, you live your way, I'll live mine 

And I hope that your happy all the time 

I pick cotton down on the dixie line 

Work hard all day tryin' to make a dime 

But that's all right, that's ok by me 

'Cause that's the way that it was supposed to be 

Big city, hard times never bother me 

I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be 

Let me tell ya, I said 

Big city, hard times never bother me 

I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be 

Ooh, that's my way, baby 

I don't want you to even tell me about the big city 

I don't want to read about it
