Marty Stuart - The King of Dixie lyrics



Written by Marty Stuart and Allen Shamblin

We're talking Tupelo was about a fast train

Headed toward the world like a mad hurricane

When he finally hit the ground, he tore us all apart

He was born to be a light in the dark

Now miles from Mississippi down some distant shore

He's blazed a trail of glory and a whole lot more

Like some shooting star we've never seen before

I'm talking 'bout the one that opened up the door

The king of Dixie, he's still around

The king of Dixie, in every town

The king of Dixie no he ain't gone

The king of Dixie's still on the throne

The king of Dixie tried and true

Still rockin' away for me and you

The king of Dixie is you know who

I said long live the king of Dixie

There was a man from Montgomery, lonesome to the bone

He only stayed a while, this world was not his home

It seemed like on behalf of broken hearts he's sing

And with every word he was calling my name

Now he's from Alabama where he first saw the light

There ain't a heart in heaven gonna cheat on him tonight

I can see him now, decked out in white

Sending down the word that everything's all right

The king of Dixie, he's still around

The king of Dixie, in every town

The king of Dixie, no he ain't gone

The king of Dixie's still on the throne

The king of Dixie, tried and true

Still rockin' away for me and you

The king of Dixie is you know who

I said long live the king of Dixie

The king of Dixie, he's still around

The king of Dixie, in every town

The king of Dixie, no he ain't gone

The king of Dixie's still on the throne

The king of Dixie, tried and true

Still rockin' away for me and you

The king of Dixie is you know who

I said long live the king of Dixie
