[Chorus]
On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in the spring and snow don't fly
I'm gonna rest these chilly bones in the southern sunshine
And live where the weather's warm until I die

[Verse 1]
North Dakota, you got my better years
Montana, you got five years of my life
But your subzero wind will never touch me again
A Southern girl can't live on snow and ice

[Chorus]
On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly
I'm gonna rest these chilly bones in the southern sunshine
And live where the weather's warm until I die

[Verse 2]
When I cross the Dixie line, I'll throw away my coat
And my goose down underwear will have to go
I'll never live again where the weather chills you to the bone
I'm tired of living like an Eskimo

[Chorus]
On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly
I'm gonna rest these chilly bones in the southern sunshine
And live where the weather's warm until I die
On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly
I'm gonna rest these weary bones in the southern sunshine
And live where the weather's warm until I die

On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly
I'm gonna rest these chilly bones in the southern sunshine
And live where the weather's warm...
