She had a dead end job at the national bank
And a deadbeat husband who always drank
So when he didn't come home she had the gin to thank

For the tears in her eyes
So Dixie packed up and said her goodbyes
So she went driving so far away nobody's gonna find her

Flyin' just fast enough to leave it all behind her
But she didn't know 'til she hit the road, deep in her soul
She's got the fire and the fight of a gypsy

And Nothing's stronger than the heart of Dixie (The heart of Dixie)
It's a funny thing when your world falls down
It's got a way of showing you what you're all about

Now Dixie's got a way of spotting ?
And she ain't never looking back
Nodoby knew she was brave like that

She went driving so far away nobody's gonna find her
Flyin' just fast enough to leave it all behind her
But she didn't know 'til she hit the road, deep in her soul

She's got the fire and the fight of a gypsy
And nothing's stronger than the heart of Dixie (The heart of Dixie)
Yet Dixie woke up to the truth one day

Grabbed her cheap glasses and her lipstick case
And she went driving so far away nobody's gonna find her
Flyin' just fast enough to leave it all behind her

But she didn't know 'til she hit the road, deep in her soul
She's got the fire and the fight of the gypsy
And nothing's stronger than the heart of Dixie (The heart of Dixie)
