Dixie Girl

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 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'm dreaming I'm with him going down that westbound highway One night a man walked in and smiled And ordered 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 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'm dreaming I'm with him going down that westbound highway 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 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'm dreaming I'm with him going down that westbound highway Waiting on tables and passing myself around Ah,Dixie girl, you're the small talk in a small talking town
