Charlie Daniels

You can put me in the ocean, stranded in a boat
Put me on an island, no bottle or a note
Put me on a Greyhound bus with a dog behind the wheel
You can tie me up but you'll still get stuck with hearin' how I feel
Drop me in Alaska, in thirty feet of snow
Drop me at the old North Pole where the Eskimos won't go
Drop me in the desert with the king of the burning sand
Ring my bell but I'll still tell you how I really stand
CHORUS:
Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee
In the Smokey Mountains, that's where I wanna be
From the Muddy Mississippi to the land of the Cherokee
Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee
Love my Tennessee
SOLO
Run me up a mountain where only eagles fly
Throw me down a cold dark well where I can't see the sky
Tie me to the railroad tracks and read me my last rights
'Long as that old train don't stop 'til Tennessee's in sight
CHORUS:
Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee
In the Smokey Mountains, that's where I wanna be
From the Muddy Mississippi to the land of the Cherokee
Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee
Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee
Love my Tennessee
