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 Montgomery 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.
