Born in Mississippi raised in New Orleans
Cotton fields and paddle wheels is all I'vr ever seen
Mama played the banjo daddy was a trombone man
Born in country music raised on Dixieland

Born with country music in my soul
But my feet walked Bourbon Street when I was twelve years old
Now I'm meetin' dirty rice and country ham
Born in country music raised on Dixieland
[ guitar + fiddle ]
When daddy sold the farm he sold my mama's dreams
But a lot of luck and a pickup truck moved just to New Orleans
It wasn't long my dad was known as a big time trombone man
Born in country music raised on Dixieland

Born with country music in my soul...
Born in country music raised on Dixieland
