Marty Stuart - King Of Dixie Lyrics
Written by Marty Stuart and Allen ShamblinWe're talking Tupelo was about a fast trainHeaded toward the world like a mad hurricaneWhen he finally hit the ground, he tore us all apartHe was born to be a light in the darkNow miles from Mississippi down some distant shoreHe's blazed a trail of glory and a whole lot moreLike some shooting star we've never seen beforeI'm talking 'bout the one that opened up the doorThe king of Dixie, he's still aroundThe king of Dixie, in every townThe king of Dixie no he ain't goneThe king of Dixie's still on the throneThe king of Dixie tried and trueStill rockin' away for me and youThe king of Dixie is you know whoI said long live the king of DixieThere was a man from Montgomery, lonesome to the boneHe only stayed a while, this world was not his homeIt seemed like on behalf of broken hearts he's singAnd with every word he was calling my nameNow he's from Alabama where he first saw the lightThere ain't a heart in heaven gonna cheat on him tonightI can see him now, decked out in whiteSending down the word that everything's all rightThe king of Dixie, he's still aroundThe king of Dixie, in every townThe king of Dixie, no he ain't goneThe king of Dixie's still on the throneThe king of Dixie, tried and trueStill rockin' away for me and youThe king of Dixie is you know whoI said long live the king of DixieThe king of Dixie, he's still aroundThe king of Dixie, in every townThe king of Dixie, no he ain't goneThe king of Dixie's still on the throneThe king of Dixie, tried and trueStill rockin' away for me and youThe king of Dixie is you know whoI said long live the king of Dixie
