Highway Headin' South

(Porter Wagoner)



Chorus:

Oh, 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 chillin' bones in the Southern sunshine

And live where the weather's warm until I die.



North Dakota, you got my better years

Montana, you got five years of my life

But the earth's sub-zero wind will never touch me again

A Southern girl can't live on snow and ice.



Chorus:

Oh, 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 chillin' bones in the Southern sunshine

And live where the weather's warm until I die.



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 livin' like an Eskimo.



Chorus:

Oh, 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 chillin' bones in the Southern sunshine

And live where the weather's warm until I die.



Chorus:

Oh, 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 willin' bones in the Southern sunshine

And live where the weather's warm until I die.



Chorus:

Oh, 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 chillin' bones in the Southern sunshine

And live where the weather's warm until I die.
