I was dyin in that small town, dreamed of headin southbound
Aku sekarat di kota kecil itu, bermimpi untuk pergi ke selatan

So I hitched down I-65
Jadi aku tumpang di I-65

I climbed into her trans am, an hour below of Burmingham
Aku naik ke mobil Trans Am miliknya, satu jam dari Birmingham

She was headin home and I was there for the ride
Dia pulang dan aku ikut dalam perjalanan itu

Started talkin nonsense an' she was laughin at my accent
Mulai ngobrol ngalor-ngidul dan dia tertawa mendengar logatku

-Wound up on the Alabama shore
Akhirnya kami tiba di pantai Alabama

There was magic in the night air an' a gulf breeze in her blonde hair
Ada sihir di udara malam dan angin teluk di rambut blondnya

That's what my soul's searchin for
Itulah yang dicari jiwaku

CHORUS
REFF

Southern moonlight, southern daughter
Cahaya bulan selatan, putri selatan

She led me down to the water
Dia membawaku ke tepi air

As we lay on that cool, white sand
Saat kami berbaring di pasir putih yang sejuk

I was born again in Dixieland
Aku terlahir kembali di Dixieland

We drank from a mason jar, underneath a blanket of stars
Kami minum dari toples mason, di bawah selimut bintang-bintang

And I said 'do you believe this is meant-to-be?'
Dan aku bilang, 'apa kamu percaya ini sudah ditakdirkan?'

An' she told me 'well I believe the front porch swings
Dan dia bilang, 'aku percaya ayunan di teras depan

-The song that the cricket sings-
-Lagu yang dinyanyikan jangkrik-

And I believe you belong down here with me
Dan aku percaya kamu seharusnya ada di sini bersamaku

CHORUS
REFF

Southern moonlight, southern daughter
Cahaya bulan selatan, putri selatan

She led me down to the water
Dia membawaku ke tepi air

As we lay on that cool, white sand
Saat kami berbaring di pasir putih yang sejuk

I was born again in Dixieland
Aku terlahir kembali di Dixieland

We watched the twilight fade, there by the ocean waves
Kami menyaksikan senja memudar, di tepi ombak laut

And it made me feel at home
Dan itu membuatku merasa di rumah

An' I knew I'd found my place, lost in her embrace
Dan aku tahu aku telah menemukan tempatku, terjebak dalam pelukannya

I was baptized in her arms
Aku dibaptis dalam pelukannya

CHORUS
REFF

Southern moonlight, southern daughter
Cahaya bulan selatan, putri selatan

She led me down to the water
Dia membawaku ke tepi air

As we lay on that cool, white sand
Saat kami berbaring di pasir putih yang sejuk

I was born again....
Aku terlahir kembali....

CHORUS
REFF

Southern moonlight, southern daughter
Cahaya bulan selatan, putri selatan

She led me down to the water
Dia membawaku ke tepi air

As we lay on that cool, white sand
Saat kami berbaring di pasir putih yang sejuk

I was born again in Dixieland
Aku terlahir kembali di Dixieland

In Dixieland (Dixieland)
Di Dixieland (Dixieland)
