i would pick and we would sing to the rhythm of that front porch swing the moonlight holds 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 i love you more than to 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 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 every stranger s face trying to find the girl that 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 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 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
