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
