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, 'Love will only hold you down
Boy you're glory bound
We can't share a world of different dreams'
So I chased mine and she found hers too
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 who's just not there
She's back there in Montgomery
And I'm clear across the country
But whenever I'm alone I go back there

My heart goes drifting down the 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 the 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 the 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 the 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
