Far From Dixie

The moon hangs low up against the sky
Where I crossed the waves
'Cause baby I'm trying to get away from you
I needed space from you

The love we share is a rope that bind
Make me lose my way, and lose my mind
Leave me black and blue, you know it do

Mom, I'm far away from Dixie
You're gonna miss me
When I'm gone
Mom, I'm far away from Dixie
Riding on Mississippi
Away from home

You tell, you tell, and you tell, it's sweet
To every John and Jane, that you meet
But I can see right through
You know I do

There ain't nothin' so sweet as a southern sky
When the sun goes down beneath the pine
But when the night comes through
They keep their eye on you

Mom, I'm far away from Dixie
You're gonna miss me
When I'm gone
Mom, I'm far away from Dixie
Riding on Mississippi
Away from home

Mom, I'm far away from Dixie
Away from Dixie
Away from Dixie
Mom, I'm far away from Dixie
Away from Dixie
Away from Dixie
Mom, I'm far

Made a tomb of youth, you and I is twine
Your blood is yours, yours is mine
I got you in my bones, no matter where I roam

Mom, I'm far away from Dixie
You're gonna miss me
When I'm gone
Mom, I'm far away from Dixie
Riding on Mississippi
Away from home

Mom, I'm far away from Dixie
You're gonna miss me
When I'm gone
Mom, I'm far away from Dixie
Riding on Mississippi
Away from home
Riding on Mississippi
Away from home
Riding on Mississippi
Away from home
