As recorded by Dolly Parton (From the 1974 Album LOVE IS LIKE A BUTTERFLY) [Intro] G A D G A D [Chorus]
D                                      G
On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie

          D                                              A
Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly

          D                                         G
I'm gonna rest these chillin' bones in the southern sunshine

    D                        A            G  D
And live where the weather's warm until I die
[Verse 1]
D             G          D
North Dakota, you got my better years

                                  A
Montana, you got five years of my life

    D                            G
But your subzero wind will never touch me again

  D                   A                G  D
A Southern girl can't live on snow and ice
[Chorus]
D                                      G
On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie

          D                                              A
Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly

          D                                         G
I'm gonna rest these chillin' bones in the southern sunshine

    D                        A            G D
And live where the weather's warm until I die
[Verse 2]
D                      G                 D
When I cross the Dixie line, I'll throw away my coat

                                         A
And my goose down underwear will have to go

     D                                  G
I'll never live again where the weather chills you to the bone

    D               A           G D
I'm tired of living like an Eskimo
[Chorus]
D                                      G
On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie

          D                                              A
Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly

          D                                         G
I'm gonna rest these chillin' bones in the southern sunshine

    D                        A            D
And live where the weather's warm until I die
[Out-Chorus]
     Eb                                Ab
On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie

          Eb                                             Bb
Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly

          Eb                                     Ab
I'm gonna rest these weary bones in the southern sunshine

    Eb                       Bb           Eb
And live where the weather's warm until I die

                                       Ab
On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie

          Eb                                             Bb
Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly

      Eb                                        Ab
Gonna rest these chillin' bones in the southern sunshine..
