1. Rollin' down a backwoods Tennessee byway,

    Em                         C

    one arm on the wheel,

                     G                    D

    holdin' my lover with the other

           Em                           C

    a sweet, soft Southern thrill.

                  Em                                 D

    Worked hard all week, got a little jingle

             Em                             C

    on a Tennessee Saturday night,

                          G                 D                    Cm              G

    couldn't feel better, I'm together with my Dixieland delight.

 

                   D                      Em                                            C

Spend my dollar, park in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight,

               G                               D

hold her up tight, make a little lovin',

                    Em                                   C

a little turtle dovin' on a Mason-Dixon night,

            Em            C            Cm             G

fits my life, oh, so right, my Dixieland delight.

2. White-tail buck deer munchin' on clover,

                 Em                     C

    red-tail hawk sittin' on a limb,

                          G                            D

    chubby old groundhog, croakin' bullfrog,

     Em                               C

    free as a feelin' in the wind.

                          Em                               D

    Homegrown country girl gonna give me a whirl

             Em                             C

    on a Tennessee Saturday night,

    lucky as a seven, livin' in heaven with my Dixieland delight.
