This is as good a tribute to the state of Tennessee as you’ll find. Yes, it’s a about a guy who gets lucky on Friday night, but it’s also filled with great examples of why so many have such great memories of the state. The music bridges from straight ahead 80s country to an uptempo bluegrass fidd...
Dixieland Delight Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rollin' down a backwoods Tennessee byway
One arm on the wheel
Holding my lover with the other
A sweet, soft, southern thrill
Worked hard all week, got a little jingle
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Couldn't feel better, I'm together
With my Dixieland Delight
[Chorus]
Spend my dollar, parked in a holler
'Neath the mountain moonlight
Hold her up tight
Make a little lovin'
A little turtle-dovin'
On a Mason-Dixon night
Fits my life, oh, so right
My Dixieland Delight
[Instrumental Bridge: 1:27 - 1:49]
[Verse 2]
White-tail buck deer, munching on clover
Red-tail hawk, sitting on a limb
Chubby old groundhog, croaking bullfrog
Free as the feeling in the wind
Home-grown country girl, gonna give me a whirl
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Lucky as a seven, livin' in heaven
With my Dixieland Delight
[Chorus]
Spend my dollar, parked in a holler
'Neath the mountain moonlight
Hold her up tight
Make a little lovin'
A little turtle-dovin'
On a Mason-Dixon night
Fits my life, oh, so right
My Dixieland Delight
[Instrumental Bridge: 3:11 - 3:43]
[Chorus]
Spend my dollar, parked in a holler
'Neath the mountain moonlight
Hold her up tight
Make a little lovin'
A little turtle-dovin'
On a Mason-Dixon night
Fits my life, oh, so right
My Dixieland Delight
[Instrumental Bridge: 4:09 - 4:41]
[Outro]
Rolling down a backwoods Tennessee byway
One arm on the wheel
Holding my lover with the other
She's a sweet, soft, southern thrill
Worked hard all week, got a little jingle
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Couldn't feel better, I'm together
With my Dixieland Delight
