Doyle Lawson and 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
