[Learning English through Songs] The Heart Of Dixie (Single) - Danielle Bradbery







Lyrics:




She had a dead end job at the national bank
And a deadbeat husband who always drank
So when he didn’t come home he had the gin to thank
For the tears in her eyes
So Dixie packed up and said her goodbyes

Chorus:
And she went driving so far away nobody’s gonna find her
Flyin’ just fast enough to leave it all behind her
But she didn’t know ’til she hit the road, deep in her soul
She’s got the fire and the fight of the gypsy
Ain’t nothing stronger than the heart of Dixie
The heart of Dixie

It’s a funny thing when your world falls down
It’s got a way of showing you what you’re all about
Now Dixie’s got her wheels pointed south
She ain’t never looking back
And nobody knew she must leave like that

Chorus:
And she went driving so far away nobody’s gonna find her
Flyin’ just fast enough to leave it all behind her
But she didn’t know ’til she hit the road, deep in her soul
She’s got the fire and the fight of the gypsy
Ain’t nothing stronger than the heart of Dixie
The heart of Dixie

Yeah Dixie woke up to the truth one day
Grabbed her cheap sun glasses and a lipstick case

Chorus:
And she went driving so far away nobody’s gonna find her
Flyin’ just fast enough to leave it all behind her
But she didn’t know ’til she hit the road, deep in her soul
She’s got the fire and the fight of the gypsy
Ain’t nothing stronger than the heart of Dixie
The heart of Dixie
