(Capo on 1)

Intro.:  (G)

(Chorus)
On a (G)highway headed south somewhere to (C)Dixie
Where the (G)cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't (D)fly
I'm gonna (G)rest these chillin' bones in the Southern (C)sunshine
And (G)live where the weather's (D)warm until I (G)die

(G)North Dakota, (C) you got my (G)better years
Montana, you got five years of my (D)life
But the (G)earth's sub-zero wind will never (C) touch me again
A (G)Southern folks can't (D)live on snow and (G)ice

Repeat Chorus

When I (G)cross the Dixie (C)line, I'll throw a-(G)way my coat
And my goose-down underwear will have to (D)go
I'll (G)never live again where the weather (C)chills you to the bone
I'm (G)tired of livin' (D) like an Eski-(G)mo | (A) ---

(Chorus)
On a (A)highway headed south somewhere to (D)Dixie
Where the (A)cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't (E)fly
I'm gonna (A)rest these chillin' bones in the Southern (D)sunshine
And (A)live where the weather's (E)warm until I (A)die

Repeat Chorus & Fade
