[Verse 1]
I grew up singin' Hank Williams, Willie, Waylon and Cash
Didn't turn twenty-one in prison
But I've had the cops chasin' my ass
Ran off some good hearted women
And I've never been high on cocaine
Daddy always worked for a livin'
And my mama didn't get hit by no train

[Chorus]
And I'll drink a few beers and I'll drink some 'shine
Hell I mean it when I say 'sometimes it rocks'
They tell me that I'm doin' wrong
They say that I just don't belong
They wanna change all the words to my songs
Listen leave my country alone

[Verse 2]
Mt. Cheaha is my Everest, and the Coosa is my Nile
Alabama's where I was born and raised, I think I'll stay awhile
We sing about sweet home, and Dixieland Delight
We tell stories about what goes on in Montgomery at midnight
'Cause music row ain't only in Tennessee
Won't you bury me in Dixie

[Chorus]
Beneath these Alabama pines
Or take me to Tuscaloosa, plant me under the fifty-yard line
Put me in an old truck, a four-door Chevrolet
Drive me down to Guntersville and park me by the lake
Or take me to Toomer's Corner, put me under an oak tree
Give 'em toilet paper till they mummify me
I'll rest in peace if they bury me in Dixie
[Verse 4]
Well lay me by my daddy, and my grandpa just the same
I want every headstone next to me to read my last name
Take me back to Jacksonville, drive me up Mountain Street
Lead me into old Paul Snow and show me to my seat
When God decides it's time for us to meet
Won't you bury me in Dixie

[Chorus]
Where hard work is a plow
I wish Robert E. Lee could come back and take a bow
Take me to the Flora-Bama and set me up at the mullet toss
Everybody drinks on me and I don't care what it cost
Or take me to Talladega, spread my ashes in turn three
Paint my casket black with a big ass number three
I'll rest in peace if they bury me in Dixie

[Outro]
Won't God bless Alabama from sea to Tennesse
I'll rest in peace if they bury me in Dixie
