Highway Headed South

The other day I had my Sirius tuned to Willie's Place, and this Porter Wagoner song came on that I'd never heard before, called "Highway Headin' South". The lyrics about knocked me out of my chair:

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...

IF ONLY...
