When that old sun goes down across the Dixie Land look out
The good ole boys come outta the woods and the girls sneak outta the house
And they all get together in the Rosey Rose drink that Tennessee shine
And when the sun comes up in the morning y'all everybody’s southern fried

They love Richard Petty and Conway Twitty and the Charlie Daniels band
Giggin' frogs how ‘bout them dawgs and roll Tide through Alabam
They love blackjack whiskey kiss my grits Nashville Saturday night
Take me back to Dixie Lord I wanna get southern fried

Well over in Rockingham right now they're racing them cars
And in Mussel Shoals they’re laying it on picking them hot guitars
In every joint from Hattiesburg to Charleston South Carolina
Everybody's saying hot dang blues and let's get Southern Fried

They love Richard Petty and Conway Twitty and the Charlie Daniels band
Giggin' frogs how ‘bout them dawgs and roll Tide through Alabam
They love blackjack whiskey kiss my grits Nashville Saturday night
Take me back to Dixie Lord I wanna get southern fried

They Love Law and Order and the Coal Miner's Daughter Miss Loretta Lynn
Rock and Roll and Bless My Soul Baton Rouge is the Tiger's den
Elvis Presley is still the king bless his soul with pride
Take me back to Dixie Lord I wanna get southern fried

I said take me back to Dixie cook me extra crispy
Lay me out and pronounce me southern fried
