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
