lyrics

Bless-your-hearted people, they’re afraid of the dark
Peace officers are making war, and they don’t wanna talk about it
Bless-your-hearted people, they silence the word
Of the prophets who tell them the truth
that they should have learned by now

We ride the Jefferson Davis Highway, we sing in God’s own country

Main Street’s named for the president
who commanded the Confederates
To defend them Dixie Pharaohs against the armies of the Lord
Main Street’s got a monument for the fighters for the cause
Gotta tear it down like that battle flag cause the war is over now

We ride the Jefferson Davis Highway, to sing in God’s own country

They say it’s just our history, don’t tread on who we are
But the father’s sins keep visitin’,
ghosts are hauntin’, ghosts are on the…

Jefferson Davis Highway, we sing in God’s own country
Jefferson Davis Highway, we sing in God’s own country, no more
Jefferson Davis Highway, we’ll sing in God’s own country, get off that
Jefferson Davis Highway, let's sing in God’s own country
