Alabama Dixieland Delight Lyrics
Rolling down a backwoods Tennessee highway
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
Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler ‘neath the mountain moonlight
Holdin’ her up tight
Make a little lovin’
A little turtle dovin’ on a Mason Dixon night
It’s my life
Oh so right
My dixieland delight
Whitetail buck deer munchin’ on clover
Red-tailed hawk sitting on a limb
Chubby ol’ groundhog
Croakin’ bullfrog
Free as a 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
Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler ‘neath the mountain moonlight
Holdin’ her up tight
Make a little lovin’
A little turtle dovin’ on a Mason Dixon night
It’s my life
Oh so right
My dixieland delight
Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler ‘neath the mountain moonlight
Holdin’ her up tight
Make a little lovin’
A little turtle dovin’ on a Mason Dixon night
It’s my life
Oh so right
My dixieland delight
Rolling down a backwoods Tennessee bighway
One arm on the wheel
