GMe and my best friend Lillian
And her blue ticCk hound dog Gideon,
CSittin on the front porch cooling in the shade
GSingin every song the radio played
DWaitin for the Alabama sun to go down
CTwo red dirt girls in a red dirt town
Me and LilGlian
Just acrosCs the line and a little southeast of MeGridian.
She loved her brother I remember back when
He was fixin up a '49 Indian
He told her 'Little sister, gonna ride the wind
Up around the moon and back again"
He never got farther than Vietnam,
I was standin there with her when the telegram come
For Lillian.
Now he's lyin somewhere about a million miles from Meridian.
She said there's not much hope for a red dirt girl
Somewhere out there is a great big world
Thats where I'm bound
And the stars might fall on Alabama
But one of these days I'm gonna swing
My hammer down
Away from this red dirt town
I'm gonna make a joyful sound
