Where a boy could make a living [D] playing guitar late at night.
I had to learn about the ladies, I was too young to understand.
Why the young girls fall in [G] love with the boys and the band.
[C] When the boys turn their [A] music, the girls just turn away.
[D] To [A] some other guitar [D] picker in some other late night place.
Well I held on to my music, let the ladies walk away.

When the people really love you, [D] let you know. That's good.
I'll speak my southern English, just as natural as I please.
I'm in the heart of Dixie [G] and Dixie's in the heart of me.
