Southern Comfort Zone

[Spoken Intro]
You might be a redneck…
(radio static)
The Grand Ole Opry coming to you live from…
(radio static)

[Verse 1]
When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton
The first time you leave it can be strange, it can be shocking
Not everybody drives a truck, not everybody drinks sweet tea
Not everybody owns a gun, wears a ball cap, boots, and jeans
Not everybody goes to church
Or watches every NASCAR race
Not everybody knows the words to
“Ring Of Fire” or “Amazing Grace”

[Chorus]
Oh, Dixie Land
I hope you understand
When I miss my Tennessee home
And I've been away way too long
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside my southern comfort zone

[Verse 2]
I have walked the streets of Rome, I have been to foreign lands
I know what it's like to talk and have nobody understand
I have seen the Eiffel Tower lit up on a Paris night
I have kissed a West Coast girl underneath the Northern Lights
I know what it's like to be the only one like me
To take a good hard look around and be a minority

[Chorus]
And I miss my Tennessee home
I can see the ways that I've grown
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside my southern comfort zone

[Bridge]
I miss your biscuits and your gravy
Fireflies dancing in the night
You have fed me, you have saved me
Billy Graham and Martha White
I have since become a drifter
And I just can't wait to pack
Cause I know the route I leave on
It will always bring me back

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I wish I was in Dixie Again
I miss my Tennessee Home
I've been away way too long
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside my southern comfort zone

[Outro]
Look away, look away

I wish I was in Dixie, away, look away
I wish I was in the land of cotton
Look away, look away

I wish I was in Dixie… in Dixie…
