Dixie Fried Lyrics - Beyond The Sun - Chris Isaak

On the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot 

Dan dropped in around five o'clock 

Took off his coat, said "The night is short" 

He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quarter 

He hollered, "Rave on, children I'm with ya, 

Rave on cats," he cried 

"It's almost dawn, the cops is gone 

Let's all get Dixie fried" 

Well, Dan got happy and he started raving 

He jerked out a razor but he wasn't shaving 

And all the cats knew to jump and hop 

'Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop 

He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya 

Rave on, cats," he cried 

"It's almost dawn, the cops is gone 

Let's all get Dixie fried, fried, fried, yeah" 

The cops heard Dan when he started to shout 

They all ran in to see what it was about 

And I heard him holler as they led him away 

He turned his head and this is what he had to say 

He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya 

Rave on, cats," he cried 

"It's almost dawn, the cops is gone 

Let's all get Dixie fried, fried, fried? 

Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw 

And he let us all know he wasn't scared of the law 

Through the black crossed bars he tossed a note to his dear 

"It ain't my fault, sugar, I'm in here" 

For hollering, "Rave on, children, I'm with you 

Rave on, cats," he cried 

"It's almost dawn, the cops ain't gone 

And I've been Dixie fried"
