I was dyin in that small town, dreamed of headin southbound
So I hitched down I-65
I climbed into her trans am, an hour below of Burmingham
She was headin home and I was there for the ride
Started talkin nonsense an' she was laughin at my accent
-Wound up on the Alabama shore
There was music in the night air an' a gulf breeze in her blonde hair
That's what my soul's searchin for
[Chorus]
Southern moonlight, southern daughter
She led me down to the water
As we lay on that cool, white sand
I was born again in Dixieland
We drank from a mason jar, underneath a blanket of stars
And I said 'do you believe this is meant-to-be?'
An' she told me 'well I believe the front porch swings
-The song that the cricket sings-
And I believe you belong down here with me
[Chorus]
Southern moonlight, southern daughter
She led me down to the water
As we lay on that cool, white sand
I was born again in Dixieland
We watched the twilight fade, there by the ocean waves
And it made me feel at home
An' I knew I'd found my place, lost in her embrace
I was baptized in her arms
[Chorus]
Southern moonlight, southern daughter
She led me down to the water
As we lay on that cool, white sand
I was born again...
[Chorus]
Southern moonlight, southern daughter
She led me down to the water
As we lay on that cool, white sand
I was born again in Dixieland
In Dixieland
(Dixieland)
