Lyrics:
Rolling down a backwoods Tennessee byway
One arm on the wheel
Holding my lover with the other
A sweet soft southern thrill
Worked hard all week
Got a little jingle
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Couldn’t feel better
I’m together with my dixieland delight
Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler ‘neath the mountain moonlight
Holdin’ her up tight
Make a little lovin’
A little turtle dovin’ on a Mason Dixon night
It’s my life
Oh so right
My dixieland delight
Whitetail buck deer munchin’ on clover
Red-tailed hawk sitting on a limb
Chubby ol’ groundhog
Croakin’ bullfrog
Free as a feeling in the wind
Home grown country girl
Gonna give me a whirl
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Lucky as a seven
Livin’ in Heaven
With my dixieland delight
Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler ‘neath the mountain moonlight
Holdin’ her up tight
Make a little lovin’
A little turtle dovin’ on a Mason Dixon night
It’s my life
Oh, so right
My dixieland delight
Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler ‘neath the mountain moonlight
Holdin’ her up tight
Make a little lovin’
A little turtle dovin’ on a Mason Dixon night
It’s my life
Oh, so right
My dixieland delight
Rolling down a backwoods Tennessee byway
One arm on the wheel

DIXIELAND DELIGHT: A SHORT HISTORY
“Dixieland Delight” is back for the fourth quarter of Alabama games. For those not familiar with the song or the tradition of playing in the fourth quarter during Alabama games, we have prepared a primer.
What is the song’s history? “Dixieland Delight’ is a song written by Ronnie Rogers and recorded by legendary country act Alabama in 1982 for the album The Closer You Get. It reached number one in January 1983, and became a singalong staple at Alabama games shortly thereafter. The song usually appeared in the fourth quarter, long after everyone was merely “reasonably drunk.” (This comes into play later.)
What is the song about? Just a sec, we just want to say that the band Alabama rules, and that the album The Closer You Get was in heavy rotation in fine trucks and muscle cars all over the Greater Middle Tennessee Countrypolitan Area until well into the early 1990s.
It is hard to summarize their excellence in a few paragraphs, but we’ll try. They ruled because they looked like a crew of surveyors — not particularly fit or attractive surveyors. Probably competent ones with the good trucks who didn’t litter too much while they were working. Those kind of surveyors, but in a country band, but also without changing the clothes or hairstyles at all.
They were actually from Alabama — Fort Payne in the northeast corner — and mostly sang two kinds of songs. The first were odes to extremely country things like having sex in trucks, hollers, and rivers. The second type of Alabama song was the heavy and extremely sincere ballad, made to be played while “making love.” This is not a stretch: Alabama actually had a song called “When we make love”, which was a super-sincere song about doin’ it real emotional-like.)
This is a picture of the lead singer of the group Alabama — who was born in Fort Payne, Alabama — and whose band recorded an album called My Home’s in Alabama, and a song with Brad Paisley called “Old Alabama”, and whose song “Dixieland Delight” has been played at Alabama home games, wearing an Alabama Crimson Tide jersey.
This is the most Alabama that has ever appeared in a single image, and all one need know about the band.
What is the song about? Having sex in a truck, but also appreciating nature while having sex in a truck. The narrator is an outdoorsperson, but also a lover. It is a layered song about having sex in a truck, is what we’re saying.
Why did they play it at Alabama games? See previous entry
Why did they stop playing it at Alabama games? Mostly because the student section made up their own call-and-response to one verse.
Spend my dollar (ON HAM)
Parked in a holler ‘neath the mountain moonlight (ROLL HAM)
Hold her up tight (JUST LIKE HAM)
Make a little lovin’ (HAM LOVE)
A little turtle dovin’ on a Mason Dixon night (FUCK BEEF)
Fits my life (AND CHICKEN TOO)
Oh so right (DELICIOUS HAM!)
My Dixieland Delight
The profanity outraged some family-first Alabama season ticket holders, while the Alabama poultry lobby took issue with the anti-chicken sentiments. After the 2014 Iron Bowl, the use of the song was discontinued.
Why now? Probably as one more enticement to keep Alabama students in the stands for the entire game. Nick Saban has complained about it enough, at least, to get the administration to get on board with trying something to get students to stay for a whole fifty point blowout of literally anyone on Alabama’s schedule.
This is missing the obvious best enticement for Alabama students, of course: Free ham to anyone who stays through the fourth quarter.
P.S. Roll Ham.
Alabama (band)
American country music band
Alabama is an American country music band formed in Fort Payne, Alabama, in 1969. The band was founded by Randy Owen (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and his cousin Teddy Gentry (bass, backing vocals). They were soon joined by another cousin, Jeff Cook (lead guitar, fiddle, and keyboards). First operating under the name Wild Country, the group toured the Southeast bar circuit in the early 1970s, and began writing original songs. They changed their name to Alabama in 1977 and following the chart success of two singles, were approached by RCA Nashville for a record deal.
Alabama’s biggest success came in the 1980s, where the band had over 27 number one hits, seven multi-platinum albums and received numerous awards. Alabama’s first single on RCA Records, “Tennessee River”, began a streak of 21 number one singles, including “Love in the First Degree” (1981), “Mountain Music” (1982), “Dixieland Delight” (1983), “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)” (1984) and “Song of the South” (1988). The band’s popularity waned slightly in the 1990s although they continued to produce hit singles and multi-platinum album sales. Alabama disbanded in 2004 following a farewell tour and two albums of inspirational music but reunited in 2010 and have continued to record and tour worldwide.
The band’s blend of traditional country music and Southern rock combined with elements of bluegrass, folk, gospel and pop music gave it a crossover appeal that helped lead to their success. They also toured extensively and incorporated production elements such as lighting and “sets” inspired by rock concerts into their shows. The band has over 41 number one country records on the Billboard charts to their credit and have sold over 75 million records, making them the most successful band in country music history.[3][4] AllMusic credited the band with popularizing the idea of a country band and wrote that “It’s unlikely that any other country group will be able to surpass the success of Alabama.”
Alabama was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2019 and was awarded with the first ever Life Time Achievement Award from this institution.[6]
History [ edit ]
1969–1979: Formation and early years [ edit ]
Alabama was formed by guitarists Randy Owen and Jeff Cook, and bassist Teddy Gentry, three cousins born and raised near Fort Payne, Alabama, an area with strong country music roots. Owen and Gentry grew up on separate cotton farms on Lookout Mountain (a plateau that stretches across northeastern Alabama, through northwest Georgia and into Tennessee), learning guitar together and singing in church before the age of six. Gentry and Owen played in numerous groups during the 1960s, ranging from pop to bluegrass. Cook joined the band in 1969 forming the group Young Country, which first jammed together around Christmas. Cook also played in numerous other bands and was a rock and roll disk jockey. The three cousins all shared vocal duties, with another cousin, drummer Jackie Owen, completing the group’s first lineup. The band’s first performance was at a high school talent contest (playing a Merle Haggard song), for which they won first prize and tickets to the Grand Ole Opry.[9] Despite this, all were too busy with prior commitments to pursue music: Owen still in high school, Cook working for Western Electric, and Gentry laying carpets full-time. The band grew further inactive when Cook and Owen went to college.
The group became a professional band in 1972, adding drummer Bennett Vartanian and changing their name to Wild Country. During this time, the group accepted a position playing at the now-defunct Canyon Land theme park near Fort Payne. The park would bring in established stars, such as Jerry Wallace, Bobby Bare, and Narvel Felts, and the band would back them, afterwards performing a one-hour dance set. After a while, with opportunities for the band slow to materialize, a discouraged Cook took a government job in Anniston, Alabama. Owen was studying English at Jacksonville State University, and Cook had an electronics job.[11] The trio shared a $56-a-month apartment in Anniston,[11] and worked to keep the band afloat with night and weekend gigs. The group decided to become professional musicians in 1973, and began performing at bars throughout the Southeast. In March, the band relocated to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, performing six nights a week at a club named The Bowery for tips.[12] They made their best money performing cover songs of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Merle Haggard.[9] The group could not secure a record contract and began to self-finance recordings.[11] The group borrowed $4,000 from a Fort Payne bank to record and release their own albums to sell at shows. Vartanian dropped out of the group, and following a rotation of four more drummers, they settled on Rick Scott in 1974.
The group sent out demo tapes to record companies but received few responses until executives at GRT Records signed the band to a one-record contract, issuing their debut single, “I Want to Be with You Tonight”, in 1977. GRT was more interested in the band as songwriters, and convinced the group to change their name to The Alabama Band, later shortened to just Alabama.[13] The song only reached number 78 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts,[14] and GRT declared bankruptcy the following year. Due to a hidden clause in their contract, Alabama was forbidden from recording with another label. For the next two years, the band raised money to buy out their contract and they began recording again in 1979. Following self-recorded efforts Wild Country (1976) and Deuces Wild (1977), Alabama Band No. 3 (1979) became the band’s third album, and the band performed over 300 shows on the road that year. The group hired independent radio promoters to receive radio play for the single “I Wanna Come Over”, and they sent hand-written letters to program directors and DJs nationwide. It received the attention of Dallas-based MDJ Records, who signed the band. Scott left the group at this time, and was replaced by Mark Herndon, a rock drummer later credited with bringing the band their signature sound. “I Wanna Come Over”, became their first radio hit, reaching the top 40 in the Billboard country chart.[15]
1980–1987: Mainstream success and superstardom [ edit ]
When it happened, it happened so fast we didn’t have time to think … One day we were in Myrtle Beach, and a few days later we were on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand. We were scared to death. It was amazing. The next thing you know, you are Group of the Year on nationwide TV. Randy Owen on the group’s surprise success[13]
The group’s next single, “My Home’s in Alabama”, received an even better response, reaching the top 20.[15] Their early chart successes led to an invitation to appear at the “New Faces” show at Nashville’s annual Country Radio Seminar, along with other new acts, such as Reba McEntire.[12] The band had to perform with studio musicians, rather than as a band, and left the session believing they had destroyed their chances. Despite this, the group drew interest from several labels, among those RCA Records,[13] with whom they signed in April 1980. Their first single on RCA, “Tennessee River”, was produced by Harold Shedd and was their first to hit number one on the Billboard country chart, beginning a streak of over 30 number one hits. Cashbox named the band the New Vocal Group of the Year, marking the band’s first award. In July 1980, the band left their long-time gig at the Bowery,[13] promoting their single which they initially believed to be fluke.[12] The success took the band by surprise and soon became “all but consuming.”[13]
Alabama enjoyed a great deal of creative freedom at RCA; they followed up “Tennessee River” with “Why Lady Why” despite the objections of executives and trade publications,[16] The song became their second number one on the charts.[15] They toured extensively, headlining small clubs and opening for bigger acts in major venues. In addition, the group also received television exposure on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and The Merv Griffin Show. In February 1981, Alabama released its second major label album, Feels So Right; it peaked at number 16 on the Billboard 200 and stayed for more than three years, longer than any other Alabama album.[17] “Old Flame” was their next number one in February 1981, followed by “Feels So Right” in May, and “Love in the First Degree” that October.[15][18] That year, Alabama received a great deal of industry attention: Billboard named them New Group for the Year, Radio & Records called them Group of the Year, and the Academy of Country Music (ACM) deemed the band the Vocal Group of the Year. The quintet performed on the 1981 Country Music Association Awards, where it received both Instrumental Group of the Year and Vocal Group of the Year. Although the band received unprecedented success, Owen’s personal life was falling apart: his father died while he was on the road, affecting him greatly.[12]
Mountain Music, released in February 1982, is considered their final release before a significant upgrade in production and sound.[20] All three of the album’s singles reached number one: “Mountain Music” in May 1982, followed two months later by “Take Me Down” that July, and “Close Enough to Perfect” in October.[15] That year, both Mountain Music and Feels So Right would go quadruple platinum; by late 1982, the band had sold over six million albums, despite just two years on the national circuit.[15] “Christmas in Dixie”, a seasonal song released in 1982, charted on two of Billboard magazine’s music popularity charts in six different calendar years.[21] Alabama became the first group to win CMA’s prestigious Entertainer of the Year award, which they collected three years in a row, from 1982 to 1984.[20] The group received a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, for Mountain Music.
The Closer You Get…, released in March 1983, was certified platinum within two months, and also won the Grammy for Best Country Performance.[22] Each of the album’s singles—”Dixieland Delight”, “The Closer You Get”, and “Lady Down on Love”—were number ones in both the U.S. and Canada.[18] Roll On was Alabama’s next LP, and its four singles, “Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)”, “When We Make Love”, “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)”, “(There’s A) Fire in the Night”, all went to the top in both countries.[18] 40-Hour Week (1985) continued the band’s string of multinational successes, with “40 Hour Week (For a Livin’)” and “Can’t Keep a Good Man Down” peaking at number one in both territories, with only the lead single, “There’s No Way”, falling short in Canada (although it peaked at number two).[18] 40-Hour Week was one of Alabama’s most popular albums, crossing over in the pop album charts. Alabama Christmas, a collection of nine holiday songs plus “Christmas in Dixie”, became Alabama’s first release on compact disc that September; it was also the centerpiece of a retail and television promotion (sponsored by the Nashville Network).[23]
RCA issued an Alabama Greatest Hits compilation in January 1986, which went over five times platinum,[22] making the band the most successful country act of the 1980s. The Touch followed in September 1986, and although considered one of the weakest in the band’s catalogue, it did have two number one hits: “”You’ve Got” the Touch” and “Touch Me When We’re Dancing”.[24] Their next record, Just Us, received a similar critical response, but produced two number ones: “Face to Face” and “Fallin’ Again”.[24] They also contributed their vocals to “Deep River Woman”, a single by Lionel Richie, from Richie’s third solo album Dancing on the Ceiling. Released in December 1986, the single peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and number 71 on the Hot 100.[25]
1987–2004: Decline in popularity and Farewell tour [ edit ]
By the late 1980s, Alabama’s sales slowed down considerably, with only their major albums going gold. The group’s popularity was mostly eclipsed by more traditional-sounding artists such as Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, George Strait, and Dwight Yoakam.[27] Despite this, they continued to be a popular touring act, and the band issued their first live album, Alabama Live, in 1988. For 1989’s Southern Star, the band decided to part ways with longtime producer Shedd, instead splitting production duties between Josh Leo and Larry Lee, and the other half with Barry Beckett. “Song of the South” was another number one, and the album’s remaining singles—”If I Had You”, “High Cotton”, and “Southern Star”—were number ones in both the U.S. and Canada.[18] That year, Alabama was named by Billboard the Country Artist of the 1980s and the ACA voted the band the Artist of the Decade.
Although their popularity continued to decline during the 1990s, their further studio albums still reached gold and platinum status. The 1990 album Pass It on Down featured three number one singles: “Jukebox in My Mind”, “Forever’s as Far as I’ll Go”, and “Down Home”.[24] According to AllMusic, by the time the band released 1992’s American Pride, “they were among the genre’s aging veterans.” Richard Carlin of Country Music: A Biographical Dictionary, suggested that the group’s harmonies sounded dated to the new audience.[29] “I’m in a Hurry (And Don’t Know Why)” became the album’s biggest hit, reaching number one; the album’s other singles still fared very well, with “Take a Little Trip”, “Once Upon a Lifetime”, and “Hometown Honeymoon” peaking within the top three.[24][30] Cheap Seats followed in 1993, with “Reckless” becoming Alabama’s final number one, although most of the band’s singles afterward peaked within the top 10.[24][30] The band’s 1995 album, In Pictures, represented their 18th gold album, more than the total for any other country act to that point. In 1996, the group remained finalists in the Vocal Group of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards. The band released Dancin’ on the Boulevard in 1997, exploring R&B and beach music. Singles “Sad Lookin’ Moon” and “Dancin’, Shaggin’ on the Boulevard” were top five hits in the U.S. and Canada.[30] The following year, the group released For the Record, a two-disc greatest hits compilation that contained two new singles — “How Do You Fall in Love” and “Keepin’ Up”. Both new tracks were hits on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, peaking at number two and 14, respectively.[24]
For their 15th studio release, Twentieth Century (1999), the band recorded a cover of “(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You” by the boy band ‘N Sync in 1999, in a move that was considered an attempt to “stay relevant.”[29] The single nonetheless hit number one in Canada, number three on the US country charts, and number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.[19][30] When It All Goes South (2001) followed in 2001. “If I never did another CD, this is the one I will always point to as the one that I was happy with the most,” said Owen at the time of its release.[33] Despite this, the album’s singles did not fare well in comparison to past successes, with only the title track becoming a top 15 hit, representing the band’s last career peak.[24]
Alabama announced the American Farewell tour in May 2002 at the Country Music Association Awards (CMAs), encompassing 40 tour dates, sponsorships, special events, and a TV special. Owen spoke then on the decision to part ways: “When you get down to it, there are many, many factors involved — some of them very personal. It’s really about the integrity of the group, the dignity of the group.”[34] Owen later admitted the group was exhausted after 20 years of nonstop touring and recording, and “everybody needed some time.”[12] The tour collected $15 million in box office before it even began, and Alabama performed to packed arenas from June to November 2003.[35] Due to “extraordinary fan response and overwhelming ticket demand,” the tour was extended for an additional 30 shows, running between February and June 2004.[37] The group performed their “final” show in October 2004 in Bismarck, North Dakota, with Herndon jokingly declaring “I need a job” as the concert closed.[38]
2004–present: Reunions [ edit ]
In the ensuing years, Owen stayed active as a solo act, Cook with his Allstar Goodtime Band and Gentry as a producer and with his band Rockit City.[9] Herndon and the other group members had a difficult relationship during the band’s career.[39] While he was present in each press photo and a photo of him once hung at Alabama’s fan club and museum, Owen contended that he was never an official member of the group. He claimed his inclusion in photos was the label’s idea, and that Herndon was a paid employee of the band, rather than a member.[39] In May 2008, the other members of the group sued drummer Mark Herndon for $202,670 in money allegedly overpaid to him three years earlier after the band’s farewell tour concluded.[40] This money was factored into the net profit and given to Herndon before accounting was completed, an allegation Herndon has denied. The band did not sue Herndon until he requested money from the multiple live albums and songs that the band had released but never paid Herndon for playing on.[40] Owen stated that RCA desired Herndon in the band so their image could be comparable to the Beatles.[12] Despite their troubles, he stated they had no hard feelings in an interview years later: “I don’t have one thing against him in any way in the world.”[12]
Owen was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010, but he was later given a clean bill of health, which led to the band’s reunion, without Herndon.[12] Following a series of tornadoes destroying homes and businesses throughout their state in 2011, Alabama assembled a benefit concert in Birmingham, called Bama Rising.[12] Featuring the band’s first set since 2004, alongside Luke Bryan, Sheryl Crow and Brad Paisley, the concert raised $2.1 million. “I guess we realized that maybe we missed the playing … and five or six years had gone by and we were like, ‘Maybe that wasn’t as bad as we remember it being,'” said Gentry.[12] In celebration of the group’s 40th anniversary, Alabama resumed touring in 2013 for the Back to the Bowery tour, referencing the Myrtle Beach club where they first became professional musicians.[9] They also undertook a short cruise, The Alabama & Friends Festival at Sea, which left for the Bahamas on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Pearl ship.[41] In addition, the band released Alabama & Friends, a tribute album encompassing covers from newer artists such as Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line, in addition to two new tracks by Alabama.[12]
The band released their first new studio album in 14 years, Southern Drawl, on September 18, 2015, via BMG Chrysalis.[42] In 2016, Alabama was selected as one of 30 artists to perform on “Forever Country”, a mash-up track of “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, “On the Road Again”, and “I Will Always Love You” that celebrates 50 years of the CMA Awards.[43]
In April 2017, guitarist Jeff Cook announced in a video that he would reduce the number of shows for which he would be in attendance while the band was on tour, due to his struggle with Parkinson’s. He had been diagnosed four years prior, and this was his first public announcement about his condition.[44]
In August 2021, the band sold its interest in its recorded music rights catalog to Reservoir Media.[45]
Musical style and influences [ edit ]
Alabama’s music mixes both country, rock, and pop, particularly evident in their musical concept: the band was one of the first country bands to achieve significant airplay. Despite their influences from other genres, the band was most inspired by country music, which is most evident in their “harmonies, songwriting, and approach.” Stephen Thomas Erlewine writes that the band is “indebted to country, particularly the Bakersfield sound of Merle Haggard, and the sound of Nashville pop.” The band echoed its country upbringing in one of its first trade articles: “We’re country first and crossover second. If crossovers come, that’s great, but we’d rather have a No. 1. country song than be lost in the middle of both country and pop charts,” said Owen.[16]
By the mid-1980s, the band increasingly moved toward a general pop-rock sound, “going for splashier productions with a more heavily amplified sound.”[29] Alabama’s lyrics often centered on their homeland. Their first hit single, “Tennessee River”, recounts being “born across the river in the mountains I call home,” while “Dixieland Delight” chronicles cruising down a rural Tennessee byway.[12]
Chart records, sales, and awards [ edit ]
Multiplatinum certifications [ edit ]
Alabama is among the world’s best-selling bands of all time, having sold a combined 75 million records worldwide.[47] Alabama’s best-selling studio album is Mountain Music (1982), while two greatest hits albums — Greatest Hits (1986) and For the Record (1998) — are among their highest in individual sales, with all three totaling five million in sales.[22] Alabama received multiplatinum success for several albums; albums currently certified quadruple platinum include Feels So Right, The Closer You Get…, and Roll On, while Alabama’s double platinum albums include My Home’s in Alabama, 40-Hour Week, Alabama Christmas and Greatest Hits Volume III.[22]
Awards [ edit ]
Alabama is the most awarded band in the history of country music, with over 200 awards from a variety of organizations.[13] In 1981, Alabama won both the Vocal Group of the Year and Instrumental Group of the Year honors from the CMAs. It also won the ACM’s Vocal Group of the Year award, and Billboard’s New Group of the Year honors. The group won the CMA’s prestigious Entertainer of the Year award for three consecutive years (1982–84), and the ACM’s Entertainer of the Year award five times (1982–86).[13] In 1989, Alabama was named Artist of the Decade by the ACM. In addition, Alabama has also received the NARM Gift of Music award, the Alabama Hall of Fame Distinguished Service award, the Country Radio Broadcasters Humanitarian Award, the Prince Matchabelli National Hero Award, the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[13]
Legacy [ edit ]
Impact [ edit ]
Alabama has been credited with “substantially broadening country’s audience while becoming one of the most popular acts in American musical history” by Michael McCall of The Encyclopedia of Country Music. The band was notable for its three-person lead (as “most other country acts focused on a soloist accompanied by an anonymous band”), their collective hair length and facial hair (which would have been deemed unacceptable just a decade earlier), and their prominent electric bass and drums.[29] They had a slightly edgier sound than other groups, and both played their own instruments and wrote their own songs.[12] Alabama mostly appealed to a younger audience, although their clean-cut image appealed to the more conservative, older country audience as well.[29] Kurt Wolff described the band’s appeal: “They’re just rebel enough for the young folks, but their parents also dig the boys’ pretty harmonies, sentimental soft spots, and old-fashioned family values.”[20] Alabama gave prominence to their hometown of Fort Payne, and also raised awareness for environmental issues.
The band’s incorporation of rock and roll into their sound was an inspiration for groups such as Restless Heart, Shenandoah, Exile, Diamond Rio, Lonestar, Ricochet, and the Mavericks.[13] According to Irwin Stambler and Grelun Landon, authors of Country Music: The Encyclopedia, the group’s diminishing sales in the late 1980s reflected competition from country bands that would not have received recognition had it not been for Alabama paving the way. For their part, these groups credited Alabama with providing a massive influence on their careers. Prior to Alabama’s unprecedented chart success, most country hit singles belonged to solo artists or duets. Many Alabama singles and albums represented crossover appeal on the pop charts.
Despite their successes, Alabama’s career was loathed by music critics of the day, citing the “vacuous songs and watered-down, middle-of-the-road arrangements” that blurred lines between country and pop. The Baltimore Sun once argued the band “render[s] country music all but indistinguishable from pop” and thus “trivializes some of country’s most hallowed traditions.” Indeed, reviewers such as Wolff consider the band’s “overriding problem” their calculated sound, which leads many contemporary music critics to label the band mediocre.[20]
Philanthropy [ edit ]
Beginning in 1982 and continuing until 1997, Alabama sponsored the June Jam, a music festival in Fort Payne, which at its peak drew 60,000 fans and raised millions for local charities. The group also held “Fan Appreciation Days,” weekend events that included a golf tournament and a songwriters concert that raised money for charities in Fort Payne.[13] Owen spearheaded “Country Cares for Kids,” an annual country radiothon that raised over $70 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.[13]

The original version of Dixieland Delight by Alabama. It was recorded in 1982.
LYRICS:
Rollin’ down a backwoods Tennessee by way
One arm on the wheel
Holdin’ my lover with the other
A sweet, soft, Southern thrill
Worked hard all week, got a little jingle
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Couldn’t feel better, I’m together
With my Dixieland Delight
Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler
‘Neath the mountain moonlight
Hold her up tight
Make a little lovin’
A little turtle dovin’
On a Mason-Dixon night
Fits my life, oh so right
My Dixieland Delight
White tail buck deer munchin’ on clover
Red tail hawk sittin’ on a limb
A chubby old groundhog, croakin’ bullfrog
Free as the feelin’ in the wind
Home grown country girl gonna give me a whirl
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Lucky as a seven livin’ in heaven
With my Dixieland Delight
Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler
‘Neath the mountain moonlight
Hold her up tight
Make a little lovin’
A little turtle dovin’
On a Mason-Dixon night
Fits my life, oh so right
My Dixieland Delight
Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler
‘Neath the mountain moonlight
Hold her up tight
Make a little lovin’
A little turtle dovin’
On a Mason-Dixon night
Fits my life, oh so right
My Dixieland Delight
Rollin’ down a backwoods Tennessee by way
One arm on the wheel
Holdin’ my lover with the other
A sweet, soft, Southern thrill
Worked hard all week, got a little jingle
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Couldn’t feel better, I’m together
With my Dixieland Delight

Why now? Probably as one more enticement to keep Alabama students in the stands for the entire game. Nick Saban has complained about it enough, at least, to get the administration to get on board with trying something to get students to stay for a whole fifty point blowout of literally anyone on Alabama’s schedule.
What is the song about? Having sex in a truck, but also appreciating nature while having sex in a truck. The narrator is an outdoorsperson, but also a lover. It is a layered song about having sex in a truck, is what we’re saying.
This is a picture of the lead singer of the group Alabama — who was born in Fort Payne, Alabama — and whose band recorded an album called My Home’s in Alabama, and a song with Brad Paisley called “Old Alabama”, and whose song “Dixieland Delight” has been played at Alabama home games, wearing an Alabama Crimson Tide jersey.
They were actually from Alabama — Fort Payne in the northeast corner — and mostly sang two kinds of songs. The first were odes to extremely country things like having sex in trucks, hollers, and rivers. The second type of Alabama song was the heavy and extremely sincere ballad, made to be played while “making love.” This is not a stretch: Alabama actually had a song called “When we make love”, which was a super-sincere song about doin’ it real emotional-like.)
It is hard to summarize their excellence in a few paragraphs, but we’ll try. They ruled because they looked like a crew of surveyors — not particularly fit or attractive surveyors. Probably competent ones with the good trucks who didn’t litter too much while they were working. Those kind of surveyors, but in a country band, but also without changing the clothes or hairstyles at all.
What is the song about? Just a sec, we just want to say that the band Alabama rules, and that the album The Closer You Get was in heavy rotation in fine trucks and muscle cars all over the Greater Middle Tennessee Countrypolitan Area until well into the early 1990s.
What is the song’s history? “Dixieland Delight’ is a song written by Ronnie Rogers and recorded by legendary country act Alabama in 1982 for the album The Closer You Get. It reached number one in January 1983, and became a singalong staple at Alabama games shortly thereafter. The song usually appeared in the fourth quarter, long after everyone was merely “reasonably drunk.” (This comes into play later.)
American country music band
Alabama is an American country music band formed in Fort Payne, Alabama, in 1969. The band was founded by Randy Owen (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and his cousin Teddy Gentry (bass, backing vocals). They were soon joined by another cousin, Jeff Cook (lead guitar, fiddle, and keyboards). First operating under the name Wild Country, the group toured the Southeast bar circuit in the early 1970s, and began writing original songs. They changed their name to Alabama in 1977 and following the chart success of two singles, were approached by RCA Nashville for a record deal.
Alabama’s biggest success came in the 1980s, where the band had over 27 number one hits, seven multi-platinum albums and received numerous awards. Alabama’s first single on RCA Records, “Tennessee River”, began a streak of 21 number one singles, including “Love in the First Degree” (1981), “Mountain Music” (1982), “Dixieland Delight” (1983), “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)” (1984) and “Song of the South” (1988). The band’s popularity waned slightly in the 1990s although they continued to produce hit singles and multi-platinum album sales. Alabama disbanded in 2004 following a farewell tour and two albums of inspirational music but reunited in 2010 and have continued to record and tour worldwide.
The band’s blend of traditional country music and Southern rock combined with elements of bluegrass, folk, gospel and pop music gave it a crossover appeal that helped lead to their success. They also toured extensively and incorporated production elements such as lighting and “sets” inspired by rock concerts into their shows. The band has over 41 number one country records on the Billboard charts to their credit and have sold over 75 million records, making them the most successful band in country music history.[3][4] AllMusic credited the band with popularizing the idea of a country band and wrote that “It’s unlikely that any other country group will be able to surpass the success of Alabama.”
Alabama was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2019 and was awarded with the first ever Life Time Achievement Award from this institution.[6]
History [ edit ]
1969–1979: Formation and early years [ edit ]
Alabama was formed by guitarists Randy Owen and Jeff Cook, and bassist Teddy Gentry, three cousins born and raised near Fort Payne, Alabama, an area with strong country music roots. Owen and Gentry grew up on separate cotton farms on Lookout Mountain (a plateau that stretches across northeastern Alabama, through northwest Georgia and into Tennessee), learning guitar together and singing in church before the age of six. Gentry and Owen played in numerous groups during the 1960s, ranging from pop to bluegrass. Cook joined the band in 1969 forming the group Young Country, which first jammed together around Christmas. Cook also played in numerous other bands and was a rock and roll disk jockey. The three cousins all shared vocal duties, with another cousin, drummer Jackie Owen, completing the group’s first lineup. The band’s first performance was at a high school talent contest (playing a Merle Haggard song), for which they won first prize and tickets to the Grand Ole Opry.[9] Despite this, all were too busy with prior commitments to pursue music: Owen still in high school, Cook working for Western Electric, and Gentry laying carpets full-time. The band grew further inactive when Cook and Owen went to college.
The group became a professional band in 1972, adding drummer Bennett Vartanian and changing their name to Wild Country. During this time, the group accepted a position playing at the now-defunct Canyon Land theme park near Fort Payne. The park would bring in established stars, such as Jerry Wallace, Bobby Bare, and Narvel Felts, and the band would back them, afterwards performing a one-hour dance set. After a while, with opportunities for the band slow to materialize, a discouraged Cook took a government job in Anniston, Alabama. Owen was studying English at Jacksonville State University, and Cook had an electronics job.[11] The trio shared a $56-a-month apartment in Anniston,[11] and worked to keep the band afloat with night and weekend gigs. The group decided to become professional musicians in 1973, and began performing at bars throughout the Southeast. In March, the band relocated to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, performing six nights a week at a club named The Bowery for tips.[12] They made their best money performing cover songs of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Merle Haggard.[9] The group could not secure a record contract and began to self-finance recordings.[11] The group borrowed $4,000 from a Fort Payne bank to record and release their own albums to sell at shows. Vartanian dropped out of the group, and following a rotation of four more drummers, they settled on Rick Scott in 1974.
The group sent out demo tapes to record companies but received few responses until executives at GRT Records signed the band to a one-record contract, issuing their debut single, “I Want to Be with You Tonight”, in 1977. GRT was more interested in the band as songwriters, and convinced the group to change their name to The Alabama Band, later shortened to just Alabama.[13] The song only reached number 78 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts,[14] and GRT declared bankruptcy the following year. Due to a hidden clause in their contract, Alabama was forbidden from recording with another label. For the next two years, the band raised money to buy out their contract and they began recording again in 1979. Following self-recorded efforts Wild Country (1976) and Deuces Wild (1977), Alabama Band No. 3 (1979) became the band’s third album, and the band performed over 300 shows on the road that year. The group hired independent radio promoters to receive radio play for the single “I Wanna Come Over”, and they sent hand-written letters to program directors and DJs nationwide. It received the attention of Dallas-based MDJ Records, who signed the band. Scott left the group at this time, and was replaced by Mark Herndon, a rock drummer later credited with bringing the band their signature sound. “I Wanna Come Over”, became their first radio hit, reaching the top 40 in the Billboard country chart.[15]
1980–1987: Mainstream success and superstardom [ edit ]
When it happened, it happened so fast we didn’t have time to think … One day we were in Myrtle Beach, and a few days later we were on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand. We were scared to death. It was amazing. The next thing you know, you are Group of the Year on nationwide TV. Randy Owen on the group’s surprise success[13]
The group’s next single, “My Home’s in Alabama”, received an even better response, reaching the top 20.[15] Their early chart successes led to an invitation to appear at the “New Faces” show at Nashville’s annual Country Radio Seminar, along with other new acts, such as Reba McEntire.[12] The band had to perform with studio musicians, rather than as a band, and left the session believing they had destroyed their chances. Despite this, the group drew interest from several labels, among those RCA Records,[13] with whom they signed in April 1980. Their first single on RCA, “Tennessee River”, was produced by Harold Shedd and was their first to hit number one on the Billboard country chart, beginning a streak of over 30 number one hits. Cashbox named the band the New Vocal Group of the Year, marking the band’s first award. In July 1980, the band left their long-time gig at the Bowery,[13] promoting their single which they initially believed to be fluke.[12] The success took the band by surprise and soon became “all but consuming.”[13]
Alabama enjoyed a great deal of creative freedom at RCA; they followed up “Tennessee River” with “Why Lady Why” despite the objections of executives and trade publications,[16] The song became their second number one on the charts.[15] They toured extensively, headlining small clubs and opening for bigger acts in major venues. In addition, the group also received television exposure on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and The Merv Griffin Show. In February 1981, Alabama released its second major label album, Feels So Right; it peaked at number 16 on the Billboard 200 and stayed for more than three years, longer than any other Alabama album.[17] “Old Flame” was their next number one in February 1981, followed by “Feels So Right” in May, and “Love in the First Degree” that October.[15][18] That year, Alabama received a great deal of industry attention: Billboard named them New Group for the Year, Radio & Records called them Group of the Year, and the Academy of Country Music (ACM) deemed the band the Vocal Group of the Year. The quintet performed on the 1981 Country Music Association Awards, where it received both Instrumental Group of the Year and Vocal Group of the Year. Although the band received unprecedented success, Owen’s personal life was falling apart: his father died while he was on the road, affecting him greatly.[12]
Mountain Music, released in February 1982, is considered their final release before a significant upgrade in production and sound.[20] All three of the album’s singles reached number one: “Mountain Music” in May 1982, followed two months later by “Take Me Down” that July, and “Close Enough to Perfect” in October.[15] That year, both Mountain Music and Feels So Right would go quadruple platinum; by late 1982, the band had sold over six million albums, despite just two years on the national circuit.[15] “Christmas in Dixie”, a seasonal song released in 1982, charted on two of Billboard magazine’s music popularity charts in six different calendar years.[21] Alabama became the first group to win CMA’s prestigious Entertainer of the Year award, which they collected three years in a row, from 1982 to 1984.[20] The group received a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, for Mountain Music.
The Closer You Get…, released in March 1983, was certified platinum within two months, and also won the Grammy for Best Country Performance.[22] Each of the album’s singles—”Dixieland Delight”, “The Closer You Get”, and “Lady Down on Love”—were number ones in both the U.S. and Canada.[18] Roll On was Alabama’s next LP, and its four singles, “Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)”, “When We Make Love”, “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)”, “(There’s A) Fire in the Night”, all went to the top in both countries.[18] 40-Hour Week (1985) continued the band’s string of multinational successes, with “40 Hour Week (For a Livin’)” and “Can’t Keep a Good Man Down” peaking at number one in both territories, with only the lead single, “There’s No Way”, falling short in Canada (although it peaked at number two).[18] 40-Hour Week was one of Alabama’s most popular albums, crossing over in the pop album charts. Alabama Christmas, a collection of nine holiday songs plus “Christmas in Dixie”, became Alabama’s first release on compact disc that September; it was also the centerpiece of a retail and television promotion (sponsored by the Nashville Network).[23]
RCA issued an Alabama Greatest Hits compilation in January 1986, which went over five times platinum,[22] making the band the most successful country act of the 1980s. The Touch followed in September 1986, and although considered one of the weakest in the band’s catalogue, it did have two number one hits: “”You’ve Got” the Touch” and “Touch Me When We’re Dancing”.[24] Their next record, Just Us, received a similar critical response, but produced two number ones: “Face to Face” and “Fallin’ Again”.[24] They also contributed their vocals to “Deep River Woman”, a single by Lionel Richie, from Richie’s third solo album Dancing on the Ceiling. Released in December 1986, the single peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and number 71 on the Hot 100.[25]
1987–2004: Decline in popularity and Farewell tour [ edit ]
By the late 1980s, Alabama’s sales slowed down considerably, with only their major albums going gold. The group’s popularity was mostly eclipsed by more traditional-sounding artists such as Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, George Strait, and Dwight Yoakam.[27] Despite this, they continued to be a popular touring act, and the band issued their first live album, Alabama Live, in 1988. For 1989’s Southern Star, the band decided to part ways with longtime producer Shedd, instead splitting production duties between Josh Leo and Larry Lee, and the other half with Barry Beckett. “Song of the South” was another number one, and the album’s remaining singles—”If I Had You”, “High Cotton”, and “Southern Star”—were number ones in both the U.S. and Canada.[18] That year, Alabama was named by Billboard the Country Artist of the 1980s and the ACA voted the band the Artist of the Decade.
Although their popularity continued to decline during the 1990s, their further studio albums still reached gold and platinum status. The 1990 album Pass It on Down featured three number one singles: “Jukebox in My Mind”, “Forever’s as Far as I’ll Go”, and “Down Home”.[24] According to AllMusic, by the time the band released 1992’s American Pride, “they were among the genre’s aging veterans.” Richard Carlin of Country Music: A Biographical Dictionary, suggested that the group’s harmonies sounded dated to the new audience.[29] “I’m in a Hurry (And Don’t Know Why)” became the album’s biggest hit, reaching number one; the album’s other singles still fared very well, with “Take a Little Trip”, “Once Upon a Lifetime”, and “Hometown Honeymoon” peaking within the top three.[24][30] Cheap Seats followed in 1993, with “Reckless” becoming Alabama’s final number one, although most of the band’s singles afterward peaked within the top 10.[24][30] The band’s 1995 album, In Pictures, represented their 18th gold album, more than the total for any other country act to that point. In 1996, the group remained finalists in the Vocal Group of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards. The band released Dancin’ on the Boulevard in 1997, exploring R&B and beach music. Singles “Sad Lookin’ Moon” and “Dancin’, Shaggin’ on the Boulevard” were top five hits in the U.S. and Canada.[30] The following year, the group released For the Record, a two-disc greatest hits compilation that contained two new singles — “How Do You Fall in Love” and “Keepin’ Up”. Both new tracks were hits on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, peaking at number two and 14, respectively.[24]
For their 15th studio release, Twentieth Century (1999), the band recorded a cover of “(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You” by the boy band ‘N Sync in 1999, in a move that was considered an attempt to “stay relevant.”[29] The single nonetheless hit number one in Canada, number three on the US country charts, and number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.[19][30] When It All Goes South (2001) followed in 2001. “If I never did another CD, this is the one I will always point to as the one that I was happy with the most,” said Owen at the time of its release.[33] Despite this, the album’s singles did not fare well in comparison to past successes, with only the title track becoming a top 15 hit, representing the band’s last career peak.[24]
Alabama announced the American Farewell tour in May 2002 at the Country Music Association Awards (CMAs), encompassing 40 tour dates, sponsorships, special events, and a TV special. Owen spoke then on the decision to part ways: “When you get down to it, there are many, many factors involved — some of them very personal. It’s really about the integrity of the group, the dignity of the group.”[34] Owen later admitted the group was exhausted after 20 years of nonstop touring and recording, and “everybody needed some time.”[12] The tour collected $15 million in box office before it even began, and Alabama performed to packed arenas from June to November 2003.[35] Due to “extraordinary fan response and overwhelming ticket demand,” the tour was extended for an additional 30 shows, running between February and June 2004.[37] The group performed their “final” show in October 2004 in Bismarck, North Dakota, with Herndon jokingly declaring “I need a job” as the concert closed.[38]
2004–present: Reunions [ edit ]
In the ensuing years, Owen stayed active as a solo act, Cook with his Allstar Goodtime Band and Gentry as a producer and with his band Rockit City.[9] Herndon and the other group members had a difficult relationship during the band’s career.[39] While he was present in each press photo and a photo of him once hung at Alabama’s fan club and museum, Owen contended that he was never an official member of the group. He claimed his inclusion in photos was the label’s idea, and that Herndon was a paid employee of the band, rather than a member.[39] In May 2008, the other members of the group sued drummer Mark Herndon for $202,670 in money allegedly overpaid to him three years earlier after the band’s farewell tour concluded.[40] This money was factored into the net profit and given to Herndon before accounting was completed, an allegation Herndon has denied. The band did not sue Herndon until he requested money from the multiple live albums and songs that the band had released but never paid Herndon for playing on.[40] Owen stated that RCA desired Herndon in the band so their image could be comparable to the Beatles.[12] Despite their troubles, he stated they had no hard feelings in an interview years later: “I don’t have one thing against him in any way in the world.”[12]
Owen was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010, but he was later given a clean bill of health, which led to the band’s reunion, without Herndon.[12] Following a series of tornadoes destroying homes and businesses throughout their state in 2011, Alabama assembled a benefit concert in Birmingham, called Bama Rising.[12] Featuring the band’s first set since 2004, alongside Luke Bryan, Sheryl Crow and Brad Paisley, the concert raised $2.1 million. “I guess we realized that maybe we missed the playing … and five or six years had gone by and we were like, ‘Maybe that wasn’t as bad as we remember it being,’” said Gentry.[12] In celebration of the group’s 40th anniversary, Alabama resumed touring in 2013 for the Back to the Bowery tour, referencing the Myrtle Beach club where they first became professional musicians.[9] They also undertook a short cruise, The Alabama & Friends Festival at Sea, which left for the Bahamas on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Pearl ship.[41] In addition, the band released Alabama & Friends, a tribute album encompassing covers from newer artists such as Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line, in addition to two new tracks by Alabama.[12]
The band released their first new studio album in 14 years, Southern Drawl, on September 18, 2015, via BMG Chrysalis.[42] In 2016, Alabama was selected as one of 30 artists to perform on “Forever Country”, a mash-up track of “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, “On the Road Again”, and “I Will Always Love You” that celebrates 50 years of the CMA Awards.[43]
In April 2017, guitarist Jeff Cook announced in a video that he would reduce the number of shows for which he would be in attendance while the band was on tour, due to his struggle with Parkinson’s. He had been diagnosed four years prior, and this was his first public announcement about his condition.[44]
In August 2021, the band sold its interest in its recorded music rights catalog to Reservoir Media.[45]
Musical style and influences [ edit ]
Alabama’s music mixes both country, rock, and pop, particularly evident in their musical concept: the band was one of the first country bands to achieve significant airplay. Despite their influences from other genres, the band was most inspired by country music, which is most evident in their “harmonies, songwriting, and approach.” Stephen Thomas Erlewine writes that the band is “indebted to country, particularly the Bakersfield sound of Merle Haggard, and the sound of Nashville pop.” The band echoed its country upbringing in one of its first trade articles: “We’re country first and crossover second. If crossovers come, that’s great, but we’d rather have a No. 1. country song than be lost in the middle of both country and pop charts,” said Owen.[16]
By the mid-1980s, the band increasingly moved toward a general pop-rock sound, “going for splashier productions with a more heavily amplified sound.”[29] Alabama’s lyrics often centered on their homeland. Their first hit single, “Tennessee River”, recounts being “born across the river in the mountains I call home,” while “Dixieland Delight” chronicles cruising down a rural Tennessee byway.[12]

Legacy [ edit ]
Impact [ edit ]
Alabama has been credited with “substantially broadening country’s audience while becoming one of the most popular acts in American musical history” by Michael McCall of The Encyclopedia of Country Music. The band was notable for its three-person lead (as “most other country acts focused on a soloist accompanied by an anonymous band”), their collective hair length and facial hair (which would have been deemed unacceptable just a decade earlier), and their prominent electric bass and drums.[29] They had a slightly edgier sound than other groups, and both played their own instruments and wrote their own songs.[12] Alabama mostly appealed to a younger audience, although their clean-cut image appealed to the more conservative, older country audience as well.[29] Kurt Wolff described the band’s appeal: “They’re just rebel enough for the young folks, but their parents also dig the boys’ pretty harmonies, sentimental soft spots, and old-fashioned family values.”[20] Alabama gave prominence to their hometown of Fort Payne, and also raised awareness for environmental issues.
The band’s incorporation of rock and roll into their sound was an inspiration for groups such as Restless Heart, Shenandoah, Exile, Diamond Rio, Lonestar, Ricochet, and the Mavericks.[13] According to Irwin Stambler and Grelun Landon, authors of Country Music: The Encyclopedia, the group’s diminishing sales in the late 1980s reflected competition from country bands that would not have received recognition had it not been for Alabama paving the way. For their part, these groups credited Alabama with providing a massive influence on their careers. Prior to Alabama’s unprecedented chart success, most country hit singles belonged to solo artists or duets. Many Alabama singles and albums represented crossover appeal on the pop charts.
Despite their successes, Alabama’s career was loathed by music critics of the day, citing the “vacuous songs and watered-down, middle-of-the-road arrangements” that blurred lines between country and pop. The Baltimore Sun once argued the band “render[s] country music all but indistinguishable from pop” and thus “trivializes some of country’s most hallowed traditions.” Indeed, reviewers such as Wolff consider the band’s “overriding problem” their calculated sound, which leads many contemporary music critics to label the band mediocre.[20]
Philanthropy [ edit ]
Beginning in 1982 and continuing until 1997, Alabama sponsored the June Jam, a music festival in Fort Payne, which at its peak drew 60,000 fans and raised millions for local charities. The group also held “Fan Appreciation Days,” weekend events that included a golf tournament and a songwriters concert that raised money for charities in Fort Payne.[13] Owen spearheaded “Country Cares for Kids,” an annual country radiothon that raised over $70 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.[13]

Alabama – Dixieland Delight Lyrics
“Dixieland Delight” lyrics
Rollin’ down a backwoods, Tennessee by-way,
One arm on the wheel.
Holdin’ my lover with the other,
A sweet, soft, southern thrill.
Worked hard all week; got a little jingle,
On a Tennessee Saturday night.
Couldn’t feel better, I’m together,
With my Dixieland Delight.
Spend my dollar, parked in a holler,
‘Neath the mountain moonlight.
Hold her up tight,
Make a little lovin’,
A little turtle dovin’.
On a Mason-Dixon night.
Fits my life, oh so right,
My Dixieland Delight.
White-tail buck deer, munchin’ on clover,
Red-tail hawk sittin’ on a limb.
A chubby old groundhog, croakin’ bullfrog,
Free as the feelin’ in the wind.
Home grown country girl, gonna give me a whirl,
On a Tennessee Saturday night.
Lucky as a seven, livin’ in heaven,
With my Dixieland Delight.
Spend my dollar, parked in a holler,
‘Neath the mountain moonlight.
Hold her up tight, make a little lovin’,
A little turtle dovin’.
On a Mason-Dixon night.
Fits my life, oh so right,
My Dixieland Delight.
Spend my dollar, parked in a holler,
‘Neath the mountain moonlight.
Hold her up tight, make a little lovin’,
A little turtle dovin’.
On a Mason-Dixon night.
Fits my life, oh so right,
My Dixieland Delight.
Rollin’ down a backwoods Tennessee by way,
One arm on the wheel.
Holdin’ my lover…
