When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton, The first time you leave it can be strange, it can be shocking Not everybody drives a truck, not everybody drinks sweet tea Not everybody owns a gun, wears a ball cap boots and jeans Not everybody goes to church or watches every nascar race Not everybody knows the words to "Ring Of Fire" or "Amazing Grace" Oh, Dixie Land, I hope you understand When I miss my Tennessee Home And I been away way too long I can't see this world unless I go Outside my Southern Comfort Zone I have walked the streets of Rome, I have been to foreign lands I know what it's like to talk and have nobody understand I have seen the Eiffel Tower lit up on a paris night I have kissed a West Coast girl underneath the Northern Lights I know what it's like to meet the only one like me, To take a good hard look around and be a minority And I Miss my tennessee home I can see the ways that I grown I can't see this world unless I go Outside my Southern Comfort Zone I miss your biscuits and your gravy Fireflies dancing in the night You have fed me and saved me Billy Graham and Martha White I have since become a gypsy And I just can't wait to pack Cause I know the route I leave on It will always bring me back I wish I was in Dixie Again I miss my Tennessee Home I've been away way too long I can't see this world unless I go Outside My Southern Comfort Zone Look away, look away I wish I was in Dixie, away, look away
