| 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 dreaming I with him
|
| Going down that west bound highway
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
