[building intro] [Verse 1] Magnolias dressed in tinsel light Sixty degrees on a silent night No frost on the window, no ice on the road Just a front porch glow with the radio low Santa’s in short sleeves, sweet tea in his hand Stars over Crape Myrtles, warm December land [Pre-Chorus] We trade snowmen for string lights Fireflies for falling white [Chorus] It’s Christmas in Dixie, skies clear and blue (Christmas in Dixie) No snow on the ground, just a warm-hearted view (Christmas in Dixie) We hang up the lights while the grass stays green That’s Christmas in Dixie, just like we’ve seen [Verse 2] Truck beds full of wrapped-up cheer Church bells ring, you can hear them clear Mama’s got the oven on all afternoon Pecan pies and a honeyed ham perfume Football plays on the living room screen Cold beer outside, still Christmas to me [Pre-Chorus] We don’t miss what we never knew This season fits us through and through [Chorus] It’s Christmas in Dixie, mild and slow (Christmas in Dixie) No frozen breath, no drifting snow (Christmas in Dixie) We pass around love, not scarves or sleeves That’s Christmas in Dixie, easy to believe [Bridge] Magnolias sleep but they hold their pride Lanterns glow along the county line We still sing about Bethlehem Even if the air feels like late October then. [Guitar solo] [Chorus] It’s Christmas in Dixie, front doors wide (Christmas in Dixie) Kids run barefoot, stars overhead shine (Christmas in Dixie) Same old story, a different scene That’s Christmas in Dixie, home to me [Outro] No white December, and that’s just fine We’ve got peace on earth and porch light shine If heaven feels warm and kind and easy It might look like Christmas in Dixie
