Dixie Road Lyrics

Lee Greenwood

I would pick and we would sing
To the rhythm of that front porch swing
The moonlight held 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 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

Chorus:
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 Montgomery
And I'm clear across the country
But whenever I'm alone I go back there.

Repeat Chorus
