When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton,
The first time you leave it can be strange, it can be shocking
Not everybody drives a truck, not everybody drinks sweet tea
Not everybody owns a gun, wears a ball cap boots and jeans
Not everybody goes to church or watches every nascar race
Not everybody knows the words to "Ring Of Fire" or "Amazing Grace"
Chorus:
Oh, Dixie Land,
I hope you understand
When I miss my Tennessee Home
And I been away way too long
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside my Southern Comfort Zone
I have walked the streets of Rome, I have been to foreign lands
I know what it's like to talk and have nobody understand
I have seen the Eiffel Tower lit up on a paris night
I have kissed a West Coast girl underneath the Northern Lights
I know what it's like to meet the only one like me,
To take a good hard look around and be a minority
And I Miss my tennessee home
I can see the ways that I grown
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside my Southern Comfort Zone
I miss your biscuits and your gravy
Fireflies dancing in the night
You have fed me and saved me
Billy Graham and Martha White
I have since become a gypsy
And I just can't wait to pack
Cause I know the route I leave on
It will always bring me back
(Solo)
Chorus
I wish I was in Dixie Again
I miss my Tennessee Home
I've been away way too long
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside My Southern Comfort Zone
Look away, look away
(Chorus: I wish I was in dixie, away, look away)

When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton/The first time you leave it can be strange, it can be shocking
Initially resembling the kind of moronic jingoistic anthems Toby Keith has built a career on, Paisley then begins to also celebrate the wonders of the world outside his Southern Comfort Zone on a Coldplay-goes-country-rock epic which acknowledges there’s more to life than NASCAR and sweet tea; [LISTEN].
I miss your biscuits and your gravy/Fireflies dancing in the night
Paisley moves this homesick screed out of his “comfort zone,” turning it into an uptempo, four-on-the-floor burner. Still, every image is predictable, as are the shmaltzy samples. Worst of all is the Billy Graham nod; you’d think the past dating of a gay singer would quell the country-fried bigotry.
