I'm not a stranger to passion, I've seen a lot of love in my time Felt that physical attraction, From the touch in the heat of the night Been all over the country, Started my share of new flames But after all is said and done, There's only one that remains Dixie fire... burnin' down in my soul Dixie fire... it never leaves me whole It took a hometown girl to show me How cruel these hot summer nights can be Now there's a Dixie fire burning in the heart of me Burning in the heart of me Searching for some kind of direction, Looking for a guiding light Needed to see a lighthouse, Like a ship on a stormy night Somehow you heard my music, You felt the sadness in me You took the words that were so cold, And added a warm melody Dixie fire... burnin' down in my soul Dixie fire... it never leaves me whole It took a hometown girl to show me How cruel these hot summer nights can be Now there's a Dixie fire burning in the heart of me Burning in the heart of me (Burn it down now) Burn, burn, burnin' Burn, burn, burnin' (Can't you see that I'm) Burn, burn, burnin' (There's a Dixie fire) Burn, burn, burnin' (Don't you know that I'm) Burn, burn, burnin' Burn, burn, burnin'
