Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver - Dixie Road lyrics

I would pick and we would sing To the rhythm of the front porch swing The moonlight was the spotlight that we'd share I found the 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 You 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 and every time I sing My heart goes Drifting down a dusty dixie road Taking my mind back in time L.A. lights burn like fire once you know You left heaven waiting down a dixie road Every night I'm at 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 fire once you know You left heaven waiting down a dixie road My heart goes Drifting down a dusty dixie road Taking my mind back in time L.A. lights burn like fire once you know You left heaven waiting down a dixie road You left heaven waiting down a dixie road
