1. 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.
I found new notes on that old guitar, she believed I could be a star,
B7 E
she told me that
she wanted to be fair.
2. She said, love will only hold you down, boy you're
glory bound,
D A
we can't share a
world with different dreams.
So I chased mine and she found hers too,
E A
now I'm a star, but
every time I sing.
My heart goes drifting
down a dusty dixie road,
D A
taking my mind, back in time.
L.A. lights burn like
hell once you know,
E A
you left heaven waitin' down the dixie road.
2.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.
She's back there in Montegomery, and I'm
clear across the country,
E A
but whenever I'm
alone I go back there.
