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 montegomery 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.
