summer in dixie

i'm so glad you finally called

it's been way too long

how's new york and you been getting on?

you say you're prayin' for one whole week

well

let me just tell you

the weather here's been kind of crazy too

summer in dixie

sure been cold

even when the sun burns hot enough

there'd be tar on the road

way down in my heart

a north wind blows

summer in dixie

sure been cold

now if manhattan turns you on

do what you gotta do

don't worry how i'll make it without you

i'll just here on the porch

and wait here for the breeze

to whisper your name through the willow trees

summer in dixie

it sure been cold

even when the sun burns hot enough

there'd be tar on the road

way down in my heart

a north wind blows

summer in dixie

sure been cold

you know i'd never

talk about the weather

summer in dixie

sure been cold

even when the sun burns hot enough

there'd be tar on the road

way down in my heart

a north wind blows

summer in dixie

sure been cold

summer in dixie

sure been cold
