Verse
G C D
She had a dead-end job at the national bank
G C D
And a deadbeat husband who always drank
G C D
So when he didn't come home she had the gin to thank
Em D G C
For the tears in her eyes
Em D G A
So Dixie packed up and said her goodbyes...
Chorus
G C D
And she went driving so far away nobody's gonna find her
G C D
Flyin' just fast enough to leave it all behind her
Em D G C
But she didn't know till she hit the road, deep in her soul
Am
She's got the fire and the fight of a gypsy
C D
Ain't nothin' stronger than the heart of Dixie
G C D -heart of Dixie-
G C D

It's a funny thing when your world falls down
G C D
It's got a way of showin' you what you're all about

And she ain't never look-ing back
Em D G A
Nobody knew she was brave like that

She's got the fire and the fight of a gypsy

Yeah, Dixie woke up to the truth one day
G C D
Grabbed her cheap sunglasses and her lipstick case...

And she went driving so far away nobody's gonna find her

Flyin' just fast enough to leave it all behind her
