Somehow you heard my music
You took the words that were so cold

And added a warm melody

There's a Dixie fire burn, burn, burning
You felt the sadness in me
Looking for a guiding light
It took a hometown girl to show me
Can't you see that I'm burn, burn, burning?
Burn, burn, burning?
I've felt that physical attraction
Dixie fire burning down in my soul
The heart of me, burning in the heart of me
But after all is said and done

Like a ship on a stormy night
How cool these hot summer nights can be
Searching for some kind of direction
Needed to see a lighthouse

There's only one that remains
Don't you know that I'm burn, burn, burning
I've been all over this country
Dixie fire burning down
From a touch in the heat of the night

Now, there's a Dixie fire burning in
I've started my share of new flames

Dixie fire, it never leaves me cold
Burn, burn, burning, burn, burn, burning
