Yeah I like to run with the ol' dogs Learn bad habits from my Paw Paw I got an in with the Outlaws An' I can only sing like I talk y'all I like to smoke from my left hand Crank it out, stomp in a bar band Firin' up another when the song ends An' hangin', out here with my new friends, 'cause [Chorus] I'm a son of the son of the south Daddy redneck, Momma half hippie Taught how to talk straight not back Or my little white butt get a whippin' I like catfish, cookin' on a creek bank Kind ya cant find in the city, y'all I ain't just whistlin' Dixie Well I ain't scared of a shotgun Folks 'round here we all got one Don't give a damn or a dat gum If ya don't like where I come from I like a girl from a down home Even better without a thing on Jump in ya better hang on Fire it up an' we're long gone, 'cause [Chorus: x2] Whistlin' Dixie
