Lyrics

Dixie was beauty, a country cutie
Who broke my heart in Tennessee
A real gold digger this poor boy shoulda figured
She'd never marry the likes of me
So I was feeling low when old Uncle Joe
Died and left me with his whole pile
With fifty hotels and a hundred oil wells
Now I'm leavin' Dixie in style

I'm leavin' Dixie, leavin' Dixie
Leavin' Dixie in style
In a new Cadillac that's big and black
And longer than a country mile
My heart was crushed when she gave me the brush
But now I'm painting the town with a smile
With my pride intact I'll never look back
I'm leaving Dixie in Style

Now ain't it a shame she wouldn't take my name
Back when all I had was my charm
But she was back in flash looking for cash
When she heard Joe had left me the farm
But with my head held high I just waved good-bye
And I'll be gone for more than a while
Now this debonair multi-millionaire
Is leavin' Dixie in style


Repeat chorus
