I was dyin in that small town dreamed of headin southbound

So I hitched down

I 65 I climbed into her trans am an hour below of

Burmingham

She was headin home and

I was there for the ride

Started talkin nonsense an' she was laughin at my accent

Wound up on the

Alabama shore

There was magic in the night air an' a gulf breeze in her blonde hair

That's what my soul's searchin for

CHORUS Southern moonlight southern daughter

She led me down to the water

As we lay on that cool white sand

I was born again in

Dixieland

We drank from a mason jar underneath a blanket of stars

And I said 'do you believe this is meant to be'

An' she told me 'well

I believe the front porch swings

The song that the cricket sings

And I believe you belong down here with me

CHORUS Southern moonlight southern daughter

She led me down to the water

As we lay on that cool white sand

I was born again in

Dixieland

We watched the twilight fade there by the ocean waves

And it made me feel at home

An' I knew

I'd found my place lost in her embrace

I was baptized in her arms

CHORUS Southern moonlight southern daughter

She led me down to the water

As we lay on that cool white sand

I was born again

CHORUS Southern moonlight southern daughter

She led me down to the water

As we lay on that cool white sand

I was born again in

Dixieland

In Dixieland

Dixieland
