Dixie Road
By: Lee Greenwood

Key of A#
Capo on 1st fret
Intro: play A

A
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
A
I found new notes on that old guitar, she believed I could be a star
    Bm				  E
She told me that she wanted to be fair
	  A				
She said, I love you more than to hold you down, boy you're glory bound
D					A
We can't share a world with different dreams
A
So I chased mine and she found hers too, but someone else made hers come
true
		    E		A
Now I'm a star, but every time I sing

Chorus:
	      A
My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road
	  D		A
Taking my mind, back in time
A
L.A. lights burn like hell once you know
			E		A
You left heaven waitin' down the dixie road.

A
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
A
She's back there in Montegomery and I'm clear across the country
		  E		 A
But whenever I'm alone I go back there.

Chorus
Chorus:  key change: B, E, B, F#, B
