"Dixie Highway" lyrics

When I was young I was ready to run
Wishing I'd been seeing you for all the wrong reasons
Jumping in my '67 GTO with my girl by my side and the pedal to the metal

Ran all night and ran all day
Picking up what I saw along the way
I had to prove between right and wrong
I had to do it without holding a gun

I couldn't stop for very long
Just grab me some beer and sliding in sideway
I didn't want to hear that song
She sang to tell me to get on my way

I was chased by the law... and I didn't surrender
I was cuffed and thrown in the county jail
With no bail... With no end in sight

Running down the Dixie highway
Tearing it up gonna do it my way
Looking in the rear-view mirror
Just to see what I've been missing

Running down the Dixie highway
Tearing it up gonna do it my way
Staring in the back seat
Asking God to be forgiven

I couldn't stop for very long
Just grab me some beer and sliding in sideways
I didn't want to hear that song
She sang to tell me to get on my way

I was chased by the law and I didn't surrender
I was cuffed and thrown in the county jail
With no bail... With no end in sight... All you do is fight

Running down the Dixie highway
Tearing it up gonna do it my way
Looking in the rear-view mirror
Just to see what I've been missing
