Highway Headin’ South Songtext
von Dolly Parton

Oh, on a highway headed south, somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in the spring, and the snow don′t fly
I'm gonna rest these chillin′ bones, in the Southern sunshine
And live where the weather's warm, until I die

North Dakota, you got my better years
Montana, you got five years of my life
But the earth's sub-zero wind, will never touch me again
A Southern girl can′t live, on snow and ice

Oh, on a highway headed south, somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in the spring, and the snow don′t fly
I'm gonna rest these chillin′ bones, in the Southern sunshine
And live where the weather's warm, until I die


When I cross the Dixie line, I′ll throw away my coat
And my goose-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

Oh, on a highway headed south, somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in the spring, and the snow don't fly
I′m gonna rest these chillin′ bones, in the Southern sunshine
And live where the weather's warm, until I die

Oh, on a highway headed south, somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in the spring, and the snow don′t fly
I'm gonna rest these chillin′ bones, in the Southern sunshine
And live where the weather's warm, until I die

Oh, on a highway headed south, somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in the spring, and the snow don′t fly
