OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
*On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly

You do an allemande left like an allemande thar, forward 2 and star
Men swing in and make a back up star
Shoot that star with a full turn, right to the partner, pull her by
Left allemande, come back, swing and promenade
When I get back to Dixie, gonna throw away my coat
And live in that southern sunshine


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I'm tired of living like an Eskimo
That bone chilling wind will never freeze me again


*I'll never live where the weather chills you to the bone
Us southern folks can't live on snow and ice


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 8, corner progression

Heads promenade go halfway
Lead to the right and do a dosado
Swing thru the night, boys run right
Bend the line and then go right & left thru
Slide thru and square thru 3 hands around and go
Swing the corner and you promenade
When I get back to Dixie gonna throw away my coat
And live in that southern sunshine

Way down south in Dixie
