Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know it's kinda funny where the road of can take ya
This land of opportunity
You'd surprised who you meet
Enjoy it while it lasts, Nappy
[Verse 2]
(Rollin' down back woods) I'm sittin' full as a tick
Just left my granny house, as good as it get
Ate a half rack of ribs, mac 'n cheese and some 'slaw
Could be a lot worse but I'm better than ya'll
[Verse 3]
(Work hard all week) For some dollars and change
Still can't pay the rent, and my boss is to blame
I quite right now for fifteen minutes of fame
I'm attracted to the glitz like a moth is to flame
[Verse 4]
(Only my lover) And she's a bad mama jama
She say's stick with it, when we move to Atlanta
It's gonna be different but we in together
Whatever doesn't kill you, make you tougher than leather
[Verse 5]
(It'll feel better) 'Cause by the end of the night
We kissin', huggin' tight and I'm chillin' with
(My dixieland delight) Ha, yo
[Verse 6]
(Spend my dollars) Come on, spend that dollar
(Parked in a holler 'neath mountain moonlight)
(Holdin' her up tight) Hold her up tight
(Make a little lovin') Make a little love
(A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night)
That's (My life, oh, so right)
(My dixieland delight) Dixieland delight
[Verse 7]
Can't wait to get home
To my country girl
My country house
And my country folks
[Verse 8]
(Home grown country girl) Lookin' good in her daisy's
Dropped out of school just to raise our babies
Granny gettin' around even though she in her eighties
Then go hard, 'cause today she saved me
[Verse 9]
(I'll be out till seven) Kentucky back roads
Got me feelin' so free, I can't go back home
And this small town livin' best (Feelin' in the wind)
Look around, man, I'm at home
My old shotgun house and swing on deck
Small front yard but a creek out back
I grab a little pipe, we can creep out back
And bring the moonshine, we finna sleep outback
[Verse 10]
(Couldn't feel better) With my top let back
And my seed just right and I'm chillin' with
(My dixieland delight) Uh
[Verse 11]
(Spend my dollars) Come on, spend that dollar
(Parked in a holler 'neath mountain moonlight)
(Holdin' her up tight) Hold her up tight
(Make a little lovin') Make a little love
(A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night)
That's (My life, oh, so right)
(My dixieland delight) Let's have some fun, ya'll
[Verse 12]
(Spend my dollar) All the way to the last penny
Somethin' at fist bag, twenty years Henny'
Got a pay the bills, but I don't pay many
Nappy in Alabama, oh, no, he spend it
[Verse 13]
(Spend my dollars) Got four songs out the jukebox
Took four shots then we dance till the tune stops
Doin' it like we can in the boondocks
Can't get down till your girl fixes your boot flops
[Verse 14]
(Spend my dollars) Come on, spend that dollar
(Parked in a holler 'neath mountain moonlight)
(Holdin' her up tight) Hold her up tight
(Make a little lovin') Make a little love
(A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night)
That's (My life, oh, so right)
(My dixieland delight)
