 MASON-DIXON LINE
Outside my window
Was a cold Chicago wind, blowing in
Another bitter, winter storm
All at once I felt its icy fingers deep inside my head
And I had to get someplace where I'd be warm

I packed a suitcase and got behind the wheel
Headed south until the ocean stopped me at Mobile
It felt just like a block of ice had melted in my mind
When I finally crossed that Mason-Dixon Line

Checked in a motel
That was right down on the beach, out of reach
Of that frozen, northern world
That night I watched the moonlight make a path across the sea
And I met a gorgeous, southern talking girl

I'd never heard an accent sweet as hers before
And I thought of Rhett and Scarlett, as we strolled along the shore
And when I took her in my arms and felt her lips on mine
I was lost below that Mason-Dixon Line

I told her how that cold, lake wind could chill you to the bone
And she talked of growing up deep in the South
When she spoke of God and Dixie, there was fire in her eyes
But the words were sweet as honey from her mouth

Now that old wind howls through the canyons of these cold, Chicago streets
Another year, another winter settles in
Tonight I値l bet she痴 strolling with some lonely, northern guy
Her hands warm as the sun upon his skin

She値l swear she loves him and she値l call him every day
But just like his southern tan he値l watch her slowly fade away
And all those precious words that were like candy to his mind
He値l remember as that Mason-Dixon Line
I still dream about her Mason-Dixon Line
