Tixover Quarry is a popular off-road driving centre, which is used by Land Rover Owner Magazine for vehicle tests and photo shoots.
I'm not a stranger to passion
I've seen a lotta love in my time
I've felt that physical attraction
From a touch in the heat of the night
I've been all over this country
I've started my share of new flames
But after all is said and done
There's only one that remains
Dixie fire burning down in my soul
Dixie fire, it never leaves me cold
It took a hometown girl to show me
How cool 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 burning down
Burn, burn, burning, burn, burn, burning
Can't you see that I'm burn, burn, burning?
There's a Dixie fire burn, burn, burning
Don't you know that I'm burn, burn, burning
