I would pick and we would sing to the rhythm of that front court swing
The moonlight was a 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
And she said, well, the lonely holds 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 waiting down a Dixie road
Every night I'm in a different place
And I'm searching every stranger
Trying to find a 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 a dusty Dixie road
Taking my mind back in time
L.A. lights burn like hell
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 hell
Once you know
You left heaven waiting down a Dixie road
My heart goes drifting
Down a dusty Dixie road
My heart goes drifting

Taking my mind back in time
L.A. lights burn like hell
Once you know
You left heaven waiting down a Dixie road
My heart goes drifting
Down a dusty Dixie road
My heart goes drifting down a Dixie road
Taking my mind back in time
L.A. lights burn like hell
Once you know
You left heaven waiting down a Dixie road
