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 youre glory bound
We cant share a world with different dreams
So I chased mine and she found hers too, but someone else made hers come true
Now Im 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 Im in a different place and Im searching every strangers face
Trying to find the girl thats just not there
Shes back there in Montegomery and Im clear across the country
But whenever Im 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.
Repeat chorus to fade
