Tuning:

^GI would pick and we would sing

To the rhythm of that front porch swing

The ^Cmoonlight held the spotlight that we ^Gshared

I found new notes on that old guitar She believed I could be a star

^A7She told me that she wanted to be ^D7fair

She ^Gsaid Love will only hold you down

Boy you're glory bound

We ^Ccan't share a world with different ^Gdreams

So I chased mine and she found hers too But someone else made hers come true

Now I'm a star but ^D7every time I ^Gsing

My heart goes drifting down a dusty Dixie road

^CTaking my mind back in ^Gtime

L.A. lights burn like hell once you know

You left heaven waiting ^D7down the Dixie ^Groad

Every night I'm in a different place And I'm searching every stranger's face

Try^Cing to find the girl that's just not ^Gthere

She's back there in Montgomery And I'm clear across the country

But whenever I'm ^D7alone I go back ^Gthere

My heart goes drifting down a dusty Dixie road

^CTaking my mind back in ^Gtime

L.A. lights burn like hell once you know

You left heaven waiting ^D7down the Dixie ^Groad
