Patrick Weathers - The Girl From Dixie текст песни

We followed a rainbow down the river
Catching cards in New Orleans
Chasing parades and waving her boa
She was every gambler's dream
Sunday mornings we'd go dancing
Down the alley and through the streets.
Soon her eyes were full of ashes
From the smoking payment beneath our feet
I was young and hard to handle
She was wild and fit to fight
So I laid blossoms about her body
As I kissed her while she slept one night

I fell in love with the girl from Dixie
She fell in love with the boy next door
Her momma said we were bound for trouble
Her daddy told her not to see me no more

I took a train to Atlantic City
'Bout the boardwalk and in the bars
I thought I had hit the big time
But the big time hit back twice as hard
I caught a bus and I rode cross country
Cross the sand and through the ice
Out to the land of gin and honey
I cut the cards and I tossed the dice

I woke up sleeping in the desert
'Neath the trembling neon lights
Pulling the petals from a flower
As I wondered where she was that night

I fell in love with the girl from Dixie
She fell in love with the boy next door
Her momma said we were bound for trouble
Her daddy told her not to see me no more

I got tired of seeing phonies
Got tired of hearing lies
I got tired of always missing
That Dixie moon shining in her eyes
I'm going back now to where I started
Going back there to lived and die
Around the world and back to Dixie
One more station, one last try

I fell in love with the girl from Dixie
She fell in love with the boy next door
Her momma said we were bound for trouble
Her daddy told her not to see me no more
