I would pick and we would sing to the rhythm of that front porchswing
The moonlight holds the spotlight that we shared
I found new notes on that old guitar, she believed I could be astar
She told me that she wanted to be fair

She said, I love you more than to hold you down, boy you're glorybound
We can't share a world with different dreams
So I chased mine and she found hers too, but someone else madehers come true
Now I'm a star, but every time I sing

My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road
Taking my mind, back in time
L.A. lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waitin' down the dixie road.

Every night I'm in a different place and I'm searching everystranger's face
Trying to find the girl that's just not there
She's back there in Montegomery and I'm clear across thecountry
But whenever I'm alone I go back there.

My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road
Taking my mind, back in time
L.A. lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waitin' down the dixie road.
