Highway Headin' South Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie 

Where the cotton blooms in spring and snow don't fly 

I'm gonna rest these chilly bones in southern sunshine 

And live where the weather's warm until I die 

North Dakota you've got my better years Montana you've got five years of my life 

But your subzero wind will never touch me again 

Southern folks can't live on snow and ice 

On a highway headed south... 

When I cross the Dixie line I'll throw away my coat 

And my goose down underwear will have to go 

I'll never live again where the weather chills you to the bone 

I'm tired of livin' like an Eskimo 

On a highway headed south... 

On a highway headed south...
