_ _ _ _ _ I was taking a trip in my old Chevy [D] riding through the south.
[A] I looked up on a hill and I saw a big [E] white house.
[A] I caught a glimpse of a bearded [D] man polishing his sword.
[A] I saw Robert Eadley [E] outside sitting on [A] the porch.
I pulled up in the yard and saw [D] a cotton field out back.
[A] He invited me to sit with him [E] and share a bit of Jack.
He [A] had crisscross bars and 13 [D] stars blowing in the wind.
He [A] said, save your Confederate money, boy,
[E] because the south will rise [A] again. _ _
_ _ _ [D] And Robert Eadley did not [A] like them northerners one bit.
He [D] was a rebel and he knew it and [A] he didn't give [E] a shit.
We've [D] been talking about Dixie and how old times used [F#m] to be.
And I've [D] been sitting [A] up drinking [E] with Robert [A] Eadley. _
_ _ _ _ _ We talked about his troops [D] in the rebel infantry
[A] and those 13 southern states that [E] live in infamy.
[A] As he took another swig of [D] his black label whiskey,
he [A] said, that Yankee pride don't [E] mean a damn thing [A] to me.
He spoke about his men and how [D] they always fought so brave
[A] and how they wove their sacred [E] flag,
though many lives they gave.
[A] He struggled to gain independence
[D] for his southern ground.
[A] He stood up for his cause and [E] never once did he [A] back down. _
_ _ _ [D] And Robert Eadley did not [A] like them northerners one bit.
He [D] was a rebel and he knew it and [A] he didn't [E] give a shit.
_ [D] We've been talking about Dixie and [A] how old times used [F#m] to be.

[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ [A] It was 2 o'clock a.m. [D] and the fire was getting low.
[A] So I thanked him for our talk, cause [E] it was time for me to go.
[A] While walking to my car, I [D] turned to thank him once again.
[A] But the life was bare, there was nothing there
but rocks and dirt and sand. _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] Was it my imagination [E] playing with [A] my head?
[F#m] I remember [D] hearing clearly [A] every single [E] word he said.
_ [F#m] Every movement, every gesture, [E] every tear that his [A] heart shed.
[D] His dream is [A] still alive [E] even though his [A] body's dead.
_ _ _ _ _ Robert [Am] Eadley's memory [D] lives on in the southern soul,
[A] along with his boys who [E] fought and died out in the cold.
[A] Lee was a man with tons of [D] courage, a hero without a doubt.
[A] He was a man with determination.
He [E] was a man [A] from the south. _ _
_ _ _ [D] And Robert Eadley did not [A] like them northerners one bit.
[D] He was a rebel and he knew it [A] and he didn't [E] give a shit.
_ [D] He said, son, I've got many stories [F#m] to tell.
[D] You and this [A] ass grant can [E] kiss my ass and [A] go to hell.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] We've been talking about Dixie [A] and how old times [F#m] used to be.
