HIGHWAY HEADIN SOUTH
Writer Porter Wagoner
Copyright 1974

On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in spring and snow don t fly
I m gonna rest these chilly bones in southern sunshine
And live where the weather s warm until I die
North Dakota you ve got my better years Montana you ve got five years of my life
But your subzero wind will never touch me again
Southern folks can t live on snow and ice
On a highway headed south...
When I cross the Dixie line I ll throw away my coat
And my goods down underwear will have to go
I ll never live again where the weather chills you to the bone
I m tired of livin like an Eskimo
On a highway headed south...
On a highway headed south...
