Intro: play A
A
I would pick and we would sing to the rhythm of that front porch swing
D A
The moonlight holds the spotlight that we shared
A
I found new notes on that old guitar, she believed I could be a star
Bm E
She told me that she wanted to be fair
A
She said, I love you more than to hold you down, boy you're glory bound
D A
We can't share a world with different dreams
A
So I chased mine and she found hers too, but someone else made hers come
true
E A
Now I'm a star, but every time I sing
A
My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road
D A
Taking my mind, back in time
A
L.A. lights burn like hell once you know
E A
You left heaven waitin' down the dixie road.
A
Every night I'm in a different place and I'm searching every stranger's
face
D A
Trying to find the girl that's just not there
A
She's back there in Montegomery and I'm clear across the country
E A
But whenever I'm alone I go back there.
