I would pick and we would sing to the rhythm of that front court swingThe moonlight was a spotlight that we sharedI found new notes on that old guitarShe believed I could be a starShe told me that she wanted to be fairAnd she said, well, the lonely holds you downBoy, you're glory boundWe can't share a world of different dreamsSo I chased mine and she found hers tooSomeone else made hers come trueNow I'm a star, but every time I singMy heart goes driftingDown a dusty Dixie roadTaking my mind back in timeL.A. lights burn like hellOnce you knowYou left heaven waiting down a Dixie roadEvery night I'm in a different placeAnd I'm searching every strangerTrying to find a girl who's just not thereShe's back there in MontgomeryAnd I'm clear across the countryBut whenever I'm aloneI go back thereMy heart goes driftingDown a dusty Dixie roadTaking my mind back in timeL.A. lights burn like hellOnce you knowYou left heaven waiting down a Dixie roadMy heart goes driftingDown a dusty Dixie roadTaking my mind back in timeL.A. lights burn like hellOnce you knowYou left heaven waiting down a Dixie roadMy heart goes driftingDown a dusty Dixie roadMy heart goes driftingTaking my mind back in timeL.A. lights burn like hellOnce you knowYou left heaven waiting down a Dixie roadMy heart goes driftingDown a dusty Dixie roadMy heart goes drifting down a Dixie roadTaking my mind back in timeL.A. lights burn like hellOnce you knowYou left heaven waiting down a Dixie road
