This song reminds me of my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost battling cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I never missed a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times but sometimes I wonder why bad things always happen to good people.

Born in God's country, I'd bet that family would have asked you to share their table if they had any idea you wouldn't be insulted, or insult them. When a Southerner goes up north, we experience culture shock. I cried 3 times my first day in NYC.

All the Southern streets are being renamed & statues have already been torn down. The more that is erased from true Southern culture, the less kind people are to one another.

[@williamking6306]

I get it even if no one else does. To many people from north of the Mason Dixon line Dixie represents a racist , repressive society. But Most of us born and raised in Dixie made peace with those issues a long time ago. To us it’s home, where we spent summers at some swimming hole, or winters following a dam beagle down some ditch in Freezing weather for a shot at a rabbit that was way smarter than the dog and us as well. During a protracted battle for Petersburg Va. General Lee remarked that to the Union Army Petersburg was just a strategic town that they needed to take. But to Robert E. Lee it was the town where he had met , courted , and married his wife. Dixie means different things to different people. You needn’t apologize again.

Lord, take his soul back home to Dixie. 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, "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 gray eyes And fell limp against my side.

I have followed Dwight's career since the 80s. He was one of the last old school musicians to emerge in Nashville. Country music has since become overproduced. It is more about social media and how attractive the musician is than their talent. Many of these older musicians can no longer get airplay on radio. I don't even know if Dwight has been inducted yet into the Grand Ole Opry. Anyways, he is still a heavy hitter in my books. Writes his own lyrics and music too.

[@geerterri]

He, also, had to produce and distribute his debut album. The record companies wouldn't take him on. He proved them, powerfully, wrong.

[@brkfstfd]

He emerged out of Los Angeles and the Bakersfield Sound, rock/rockabilly/honky-tonk influences. Pretty sure all of his albums were recorded at Capital Studio under the Reprise Label (Warner Brothers). That’s in Hollywood. Very much not a Nashville Sound, Countrypolitan, Pop Country artist. By the early 90s he did have a little neoclassical going on though.

[@tambourine36]

I agree. My aunt lived and loved on old country and Dwight was the last country singer she let into her singing repertoire. My dad showed her Dwight and she was hooked. Love you aunt Mary. See you in Paradise ❤

North Georgian here, we share the same mountains and probably the same shine, hehehe. Please look south and tell Georgia that her wayward son in California misses her terribly.

So beautiful. Yes Buck, lyrics so bittersweet. Two musical geniuses on stage ! I inherited all my Daddy's country records, many of them of Buck Owens & The Buckaroos. RIP Daddy, Mama, Sis Irene Doris, Buck & now Roy. Dwight misses you dearly Buck. Marty misses you, Roy. Oh, my Uncle Darryl (RIP) had a paper route with Buck as a kid a long, long time ago. God willing I will be joining all of y'all in heaven. For now, on earth I'll continue to enjoy y'alls music, Hee Haw & Dwight's & Marty's concerts. Last saw Dwight in Hopewell, Virginia @ The Beacon Feb 7, 2018. A night I will never forget. Wasn't able to see Marty this time. Hope y'all come back & see us in Virginia soon !

This is a great song and the AMERICAN PEOPLE need to listen to each word of his song. My MISS ANNIE was from VIRGINIA , ALL my grandparents are from DENMARK 🇩🇰 went thru ELLAS ISLAND to become US CITIZENS settled in IOWA became farmers. My parents took us to CALIFORNIA AND THEN WASHINGTON. What I am trying to say is now i am 67 live in the south. We are AMERICAN CITIZENS FIRST AND JUST LIVE IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THIS GREAT 👍 COUNTRY. No one should not walk by any human being and not do something. Just be greatful your not the one laying there.

[@sid2112]

In the south, nobody would just walk on by, that's the point. California is no good for a southern man. It kills your soul, because so few here have one of their own. California won't take mine. I won't let them. Instead I've doubled down on my culture, food, and manners. I am going to teach these poor souls a better way, a decent way, a SOUTHERN way.

Great statement. Take a listen to John Prine's song, Some Humans ain't Human. Same sentiment. Could be any of us or our family laying on a sidewalk. Compassion can change lives❤

@cliff hooper Could they get a job? That would help.

[@ArcoZakus]

cliff hooper, "... I hate ... the two party system." It is ugly, but when a country eliminates all but a single party it's even worse for the citizens, though much tidier for tyrants. (e.g., Communist China, North Korea, Cuba, ...) Except for the part where transfer of power requires an assassination rather than an election, that is. Probably why tyrants are so relentless in suppressing all dissent.

[@Userprofilename]

Hello from the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains on the VA/NC line. I grew up here in my family's historic home. My family has been in Virginia and North Carolina since Jamestown Colony. Anne Charlemagne Washington Wright was my 6th great-grandmother, George Washington's Great Aunt. I have had grandfathers fight in every single war that the US has been involved in since the French & Indian War for the Colonies. And of that entire 400-year history. Myself. I In one generation have seen this nation almost fall apart. For it is being collapsed & taken over from the inside by those who do not Love Jesus. And "they" want us to be ashamed of our heritage, being Southern and mostly for being White European Americans. And I only see dark days ahead for us. But I am still so so proud of being Southern since the start of it all. And especially proud of my English heritage. I love worshiping Jesus & And with all of my heart, I love my savior Jesus Christ like my parents and grandparents before them always did. My Grandfather was 98 and a WWII vet that saw much conflict in the European theater. And he passed 3 years ago. He still drove & lived alone. I am glad he is gone and not here to see how disgusting, evil, and filthy this nation is becoming and how much it hates half of its own citizens for the very reason that this nation was founded. Freedoms, freedoms that are being eroded every single day from us. Until soon they will have taken them all. They take and pollute our children to be atheists & that alternative lifestyles are good and "In" now. And in ways our ancestors here in the US would be rotisseries rolling over in their graves if they saw the US today.

[@tpowell453]

+Shirley D - This is a beautiful song. Unfortunately the concept of "Dixie" has a lot of negative connotations, and rightly so. I'm from "The South", and I'll tell you right now the concept of Dixie is obsolete and just plain foolish. But many in the deep south need to cling to something. They have very little in the way of education, jobs, etc. So I understand why they hang onto their "Rebel Pride" - but I still believe it's glorifying something that died off long ago. And it won't be coming back. Whenever I hear someone say "the South will rise again" - it just makes my skin crawl. Almost all the wealth of the Old South was concentrated in the hands of a relative few, and it was 90% based on slave labor. Is that anything to be proud of? I don't think so.

[@wthjrtx1]

Ima SuperPerson Then move to Chicago. Baltimore. New York. Boston. Philly. Cleveland. The New South thank God is still the same. Be better if you were not in it. Ungrateful betraying windbag. Pffft.
