[Verse 1]~
E B A E B A E
Way up yonder,, up there behind them pearly gates,,
E B A E E
is there a place,, Lord I wonder,, where a good old boy can stay..?
[Chorus 1]~
B A E
Cause I love the life I live down in the south land!
B A E B A
There ain't nothing like being below the old mason line! And if heaven ain't a lot like dixie,,
E B
Lord you know I still wanna go,, I just hope you got a dirt road
A E B A E
that leads to a fishing hole and don't mind me bringing my pole!
[Verse 2]~
B A E B A E
I don't claim to be no saint,, doing my best to get a little better every day
B A E B A E
And when they asked me,, "Frank,, won't you tell me,, why do you drink..?" Cause I know I'll fly away!
[Chorus 2]~
