[Verse 1] Bobby took a trip to his Georgia hometown To the land of dreams and just to have a look around He parked his car at the courthouse square But it was like a ghost town, there was nobody there [Verse 2] And Jims Drugstore was a tanning salon He asked an old man, Wheres evrybody gone? He found them out at the shopping center Where Highway One meets Interstate Twenty [Verse 3] The country boys werent wearing overalls They were wearing suits made of camouflage Southern belles talking like Valley Girls He scratched his head and said, What in the world? [Chorus] Dixies had a facelift, I guess shes looking better But I kinda liked the old one, I never will forget her Look away [Verse 4] Johnny took a trip to his Florida hometown To the land of his dreams and just to have a look around At first he thought that he was on the wrong road Cause he didnt see any orange groves [Verse 5] Now, trailer parks and condos grew on the land that he once knew He saw the city limits sign and guessed hed crossed the city line There were strangers everywhere he went, with loud sport shirts and strange accents They took the north and they moved it south, he said, Shut my redneck mouth! [Chorus] Dixies had a facelift, I guess shes looking better But I kinda liked the old one, I never will forget her Look away [Verse 6] Billy took a trip to his Tennessee town To the land of his dreams and just to have a look around He drove his car down Music Row To look up stars he used to know [Verse 7] But the secretaries wouldnt let him in, Leave your name and call again So, he thought hed get some barbeque at a little place that he once knew But all he found were sushi bars and dealerships for foreign cars And buildings that reached for the sky, he said, Where the hell am I? [Chorus] Dixies had a facelift, I guess shes looking better But I kinda liked the old one, I never will forget her Look away, gone away, far away, Dixieland
