"I Sang Dixie" by Dwight Yoakum
Lyrics
"I sang Dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So I sang Dixie as he died
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton
Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are
On this damned old L.A. street
Then he drew a dying breath
And laid his head against my chest
Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie
He said listen to me son while you still can
Run back home to that Southern land
Don't you see what life here has done to me?
Then he closed those old blue eyes
And fell limp against my side
No more pain, now he's safe back home in Dixie
He said listen to me son while you still can
Run back home to that Southern land
Don't you…"

I like older country, Hank Jr, Steve Earl, Randy Travis, etc. I don't listen to country anymore but there are a few songs I like. Redneck Yacht club and Motor Boatin' come to mind. Might be a theme! Hahaha

There is a difference between bluegrass, traditional and pop country. I am a fan of all 3
