Testo That’s My Dixie - Live - Riley Green
Testo della canzone That’s My Dixie - Live (Riley Green), tratta dall'album We Out Here: Live
So, something' y'all might not know about me is, uh
I'm very proud to be from Alabama, and to be from the south
I don't hide it very well
And uh, I think a lot of people, in the world, have a misconception
About what it means, to be southern
And what it means, to be proud, to be southern
And I wrote this song about that, and, uh, I just
I hope that people take it the way I mean it, and I hope they, uh
They realize, that down here, what we value, is shakin' peoples' hand
And lookin' 'em, in the eye and sayin', "Yes, sir" and "Yes, ma'am"
And treatin' people, with a certain level of respect
So, I wrote this song, to try to tell people that story
It's called, "That's My Dixie"
There's folks out there, that'll judge a man
By the color, of his skin
Still a fight, over wrong and right
That no one, ever wins
I know somewhere, there's hate out there
But don't hold that, against me
Ooo, 'cause that ain't my Dixie
It's who I am, Mr. Give-A-Damn
For the ones, that came before me
It's the broken part, of a southern heart
It's more, than just Old Glory
It's a state of mind, as deep and wide
And strong, like the Mississippi
We sang, "Amazing Grace" and curse the heat
Yeah, that's my Dixie
Nowadays, you just can't believe
What you see, on the news
'Round here, we ain't just Black and White
'Cause we're all red, white, and blue
They're turnin' these towns, into battle grounds
And that don't sit well, with me
Ooo, 'cause that ain't my Dixie
It's who I am, Mr. Give-A-Damn
For the ones, that came before me
It's the broken part, of a southern heart
It's more, than just Old Glory
It's a state of mind, as deep and wide
And strong, like the Mississippi
We sang, "Amazing Grace" and curse the heat
Yeah, that's my Dixie
It's homemade pies, and Georgia pines
Old bird dogs, and Spanish moss
It's mama's tea, that's way too sweet
It's, "Come on in, and have a seat"
Yeah, that's my Dixie
It's who I am, Mr. Give-A-Damn
For the ones, that came before me
It's the broken part, of a southern heart
It's more, than just, Old Glory
It's a state of mind, as deep and wide
And strong, like the Mississippi
We sang, "Amazing Grace" and curse that Alabama heat
Yeah, that's my Dixie
Thank y'all, very much
