Gonna put this one into a spoiler

Keep me away from the land of traitors,
Rattlesnakes and alligators,
Keep away,
Keep away,
Keep away,
Keep away!

Way down south is a land of cotton,
Where zealotry is not forgotten
Keep away,
Keep away,
Keep away,
Keep away!

Keep me away from Dixie,
Away! Away!
Everyone here must understand
That I still like my Uncle Sam
Away, away,
Keep me away from Dixie!
Away, away,
Keep me away from Dixie!

What is that?

It's a little complicated, but Train is making a joke about how he doesn't want to live in the southern United States. "Dixieland" is a term originating around the American Civil War used by the Confederste South to refer to a mythologized version of themselves. The words following are a parody of the song Way Down South of Dixie that more accurately describe the Confederates than the original does, because the original, again, romanticizes a (largely fictional) social structure built on the back of slaves. The flag in the background is that of the Confederate states during the Civil War.

There are of course aspects of Southern culture that are worthy of being celebrated, but the original song and the people who still sing it are advocating for a return to slavery, whether they realize it or not. That's not okay.

This brushes over a lot of details, such as how these states also consistently have the lowest standard of living in the USA, how they're responsible for the erosion of civil rights in the USA over the last few decades, and how the climate is considered intolerable for those of us from the northern states, but that's the gist of it.
