I would pick and we would sing
To the rhythm of that front porch swing
The moonlight held the spotlight that we shared
I found new notes on that old guitar
She believed I could be a star
She told me that she wanted to be fair
She said Love will only hold you down
Boy, you’re glory bound
We can’t share a world with different dreams
So I chased mine and she found hers too
But someone else made hers come true
Now I’m a star, but every time I sing
Chorus:
My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road
Taking my mind, back in time
LA lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waiting down the dixie road
Every night I’m in a different place
And Im searching every stranger’s face
Trying to find the girl that’s just not there
She’s back there in Montgomery
And I’m clear across the country
But whenever I’m alone I go back there
My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road
Taking my mind, back in time
LA lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waiting down the dixie road
My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road
Taking my mind, back in time
LA lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waiting down the dixie road
My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road
Taking my mind, back in time
LA lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waiting down the dixie road
