This is an exact transcription of the first version he recorded. the others I have seen are not even close.

Dixie Trucker’s Home
John Hartford
Key of C

That light in the darkness,
It’s a-gettin’ closer now
A pocket of warmth on an icy night
It’s a-gettin’ closer now

Wherever I may wonder,
Wherever I may roam
I’m always feeling right at home
At the Dixie Trucker’s home

On this lonesome highway
It’s a-gettin’ closer now
It’s the Dixie Truckers Home,
I’m a-gettin’ closer now

Wherever I may wonder,
Wherever I may roam
I’m always feelin’ right at home
At the Dixie Trucker’s home

That light in the darkness,
It’s a-gettin’ closer now
A pocket of warmth on an icy night
It’s a-gettin’ closer now

Wherever I may wonder,
Wherever I may roam
I’m always feelin’ right at home
At the Dixie Trucker’s home

Wherever I may wonder,
Wherever I may roam
I’m always feelin’ right at home
At the Dixie Trucker’s home

Wherever I may wonder,
Wherever I may roam
always have that steak and fries,
At the Dixie Trucker’s home

I always have that steak and fries
At the Dixie Trucker’s home
