Get Me Back to Dixie

[Verse 1] You can put me in the ocean Stranded in a boat Put me on an island No bottle or a note Put me on a Greyhound bus With a dog behind the wheel Tie me up, you'll still get stuck With a hearing how I feel Drop me in Alaska In thirty feet of snow Drop me at the cold north pole Where the eskimos won't go Drop me in the desert With the heat of the burning sand Ring my bell, but I'll still tell you How I really stand [Chorus] Get me back to Dixie I love my Tennessee In the Smokey Mountains That's where I want to be From the muddy Mississippi To the land of the Cherokee Get me back to Dixie I love my Tennessee... Love my Tennessee [Bridge] (Fire on the mountain, run boys run!) [Verse 2] You can run me up a mountain Where only eagles fly Throw me down a cold dark well Where I can't see the sky Tie me to the railroad tracks And read me my last rites Long as that train don't stop Until Tennessee is in sight [Chorus]
