I would pick and we would sing
To the rhythm of that front porch swing
The moonlight was a 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, I will only hold you down
Boy you're glory bound
We can't share a world of different dreams
So I chased mine, she found hers too
Someone else made hers come true
Now I'm a star, but every time I sing
My heart goes driftin' down a dusty dixie road
Takin' my mind, back in time
L. A. lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waitin' down a dixie road
Every night I'm in a different place
And I search in every stranger's face
Tryin' to find a girl who's just not there
She's back there in Montegomery
And I'm clear across the country
But whenever I'm alone I go back there
My heart goes driftin' down a dusty dixie road
Takin' my mind, back in time
L. A. lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waitin' down a dixie road
My heart goes driftin' down (driftin' down)
A dusty dixie road (dixie road)
Takin' my mind (take my mind)
Back in time (back in time)
L. A. lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waitin' down a dixie road
My heart goes driftin' down a dusty dixie road
Takin' my mind, back in time
L. A. lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waitin' down a dixie road
My heart goes driftin' down a dusty dixie road
Takin' my mind, back in time
L. A. lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waitin' down a dixie road [fade]
