Thro' dear Dixie old Hi Henry with his minstrel show was booked to play With his singers grand and one fine band in town he stayed just one day On the billboard fence he advertised that thro' the streets they would parade To be water boy was my greatest joy to the opera house I made There they dressed me up as Uncle Sam and handed me the flag to wave Dixie they played loud to please the crowd then for dear Dixie land we raved
I'm happy when the band plays Dixie It's the land that I love so dear Where the sweet magnolias rare Scent that good old southern air Now for dear Dixie I will cheer Sweet strains of that old grand song Dixie Bring back thoughts of my childhood days I wish I was in Dixie, I do, I do I'm happy when the band plays Dixie

Every Which Way But Loose Composer(s): Steve Dorff; M. Brown; Tommy Garrett Performer(s): Eddie Rabbitt
I've always been the kind of man
who doesn't believe in strings Long term obligations are just unnecessary things But girl you've got me thinkin', while I'm drinking one more beer If I'm headed for a heartache, then why the hell am I still here
I'm testin' my resistance and its wearin' mighty thin I got the feelin' I should leave before the roof caves in My mind tells me to move along but my body begs me stay And now I feel the need to hold you close and love the night away
Chorus:
While you're turnin' me Every which way but loose You turn me every which way but loose Inside the fire's burnin' me In mind you just keep turnin' me Every which way but loose Baby there's no excuse To turn me every which way but loose
When the sun comes up in the mornin' it should find me someplace new But right this minute all I want is to lay here next to you Those memories still keep callin' me from somewhere in my past Better hurry if they want me cause I can feel me fading fast
