I was dyin' in that small town   Dreamed of headin' southbound   So I hitched down I-65   I climbed into her trans am   An hour below of Burmingham      She was headin' home and I was there for the ride   Started talkin' nonsense an' she was laughin' at my accent   Wound up on the Alabama shore      There was magic in the night air an'   A gulf breeze in her blonde hair   That's what my soul's searchin' for      Southern moonlight, southern daughter   She led me down to the water   As we lay on that cool, white sand   I was born again in Dixieland      We drank from a mason jar, underneath a blanket of stars   And I said, "Do you believe this is meant-to-be?"   An' she told me, well, I believe the front porch swings   The song that the cricket sings   And I believe you belong down here with me      Southern moonlight, southern daughter   She led me down to the water   As we lay on that cool, white sand   I was born again in Dixieland      We watched the twilight fade, there by the ocean waves   And it made me feel at home   An' I knew I'd found my place, lost in her embrace   I was baptized in her arms      Southern moonlight, southern daughter   She led me down to the water   As we lay on that cool, white sand   I was born again      Southern moonlight, southern daughter   She led me down to the water   As we lay on that cool, white sand   I was born again in Dixieland, in Dixieland   (Dixieland)
