Dixie Girl Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was a little girl in Dixie I used to chase the fireflies
Then I grew up and started chasing the guys
Teenage romance what just the thing till I got in a family way
Now mama only working in a cheap cafe
[Chorus]
Waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk in a small talking town
I fall in love every day with someone who ends up just driving away
While I dreaming I with him going down that west bound highway
[Verse 2]
One night a man walks in and smiles and orders coffee black
Took me for a ride in his brand new cadillac
Told me he loved me with all his heart, I told him I loved him too
He said "Goodbye Dixie, I'll be back for you"
[Chorus]
While I'm waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk in a small talking town
I fall in love every day with someone who ends up just driving away
While I dreaming I with him going down that west bound highway
[Verse 3]
Now all I do is read those Hollywood photograph magazines
Work my shifts for tips and live alone in my dreams
I'm a Dixie girl who prays some day she'll be a Delta queen
Find a good man who'll raise me and my baby
When I was a little girl in Dixie I used to chase the fireflies
Then I grew up and started chasing the guys
Teenage romance what just the thing till I got in a family way
Now mama only working in a cheap cafe
[Chorus]
Waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk in a small talking town
I fall in love every day with someone who ends up just driving away
While I dreaming I with him going down that west bound highway
[Verse 2]
One night a man walks in and smiles and orders coffee black
Took me for a ride in his brand new cadillac
Told me he loved me with all his heart, I told him I loved him too
He said "Goodbye Dixie, I'll be back for you"
[Chorus]
While I'm waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk in a small talking town
I fall in love every day with someone who ends up just driving away
While I dreaming I with him going down that west bound highway
[Verse 3]
Now all I do is read those Hollywood photograph magazines
Work my shifts for tips and live alone in my dreams
I'm a Dixie girl who prays some day she'll be a Delta queen
Find a good man who'll raise me and my baby
[Chorus]
Still I'm waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk in a small talking town
I fall in love every day with someone who ends up just driving away
While I dreaming I with him going down that west bound highway
[Outro]
Waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk in a small talking town
Still I'm waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk in a small talking town
I fall in love every day with someone who ends up just driving away
While I dreaming I with him going down that west bound highway
[Outro]
Waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk in a small talking town
