[Intro 1]
[D][C][D][Bm][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I was [D]raised in
the shadows of an old cotton mill
Back when believin' was the style
Small town heaven and a
[C]big- eye[D]d b[C]oy
[G]Made sweet music for [D]a while
My daddy worked hard
down at [C]the factory
[G]Nights he went to G.I. [D]school
He didn't know nothin'
'bout [C]the silver spoon
But he [G]lived by the golden [D]rule

[Verse 2]
Summer [Em]nights he was gone
me and [G]mama stayed home
[D]Out on the front porch [C]swing[A]
[D]Wishin' on the stars in [G]the southern sky
And [D]sometimes we [A]used [D]to sing

[Verse 3]
We were [G]leaning, [D]leaning on
The [G]everlasting [D]arms of [G]love[D]
Livin' all those [G]simple joys
This [D]Dixie [A]boy is made of

[Interlude 1]
[D][C]
[D][G][A][D][C][G][A]

[Verse 4]
Got my [D]real education
from [C]the T.V. station
And [G]good ole boys down at [D]the park
The say "Hey,
Willie" and [C]those rock- a- billies
[G]Made their way into my hea[D]rt

[Verse 5]
I [D]remember the old folks
sit[C]tin' 'round talkin'
[D]On [G]laidback Sunday
after[D]noons
They said them young folks
[C]sure got a hard road
[G]Oh, they're growin' up too soo[D]n

[Verse 6]
Now I [Em]know they were right,
and as I [G]sit here tonight
[D]Out on the front porch [C]swing[A]
[D]The stars are shinin' in my
[G]young boy's eyes
[D]Just like they [A]did for [D]me

[Verse 7]
We are [G]leaning, [D]leaning on
The [G]everlasting [D]arms of [G]love[D]
Livin' all [G]those simple joys
This [D]Dixie [A]boy is made [D]of

[Verse 8]
We are [G]leaning, [D]leaning on
The [G]everlasting [D]arms of [G]love[D]
Livin' all those [G]simple joys
This [D]Dixie [A]boy is made of
