Dixie Crystal

(album: Dark Sky - 2021)

She was first runner up to the homecoming queen
He had a blown out knee from riding that crimson tide
Didn't wanna stay, but way too poor to leave
They took their first hit on graduation night

Cus when you've got roots in the ground of a sleepy town
Everybody's gotta find a way to fly
Some find the road and some find Jesus
Some just find the cheapest way to get high
Sweet as sugar and deadly as a pistol
Getting that fix on Dixie Crystal

Now they cook in the kitchen but they barely ever eat
Those high school dreams are gone in a cloud of smoke
She used to want a house and a diamond ring
Now she just wants the rocks that get her stoned

Cus when you've got roots in the ground of a sleepy town
Everybody's gotta find a way to fly
Some find the road and some find Jesus
Some just find the cheapest way to get high
Sweet as sugar and deadly as a pistol
Getting that fix on Dixie Crystal

Gonna fall this far if you're gonna get that high
The cops kick in the door while the baby screams
He had blown out knee from riding that crimson tide
She was first runner up to the homecoming queen

Cus when you've got roots in the ground of a sleepy town
Everybody's gotta find a way to fly
Some find the road and some find Jesus
Some just find the cheapest way to get high
Sweet as sugar and deadly as a pistol
Getting that fix on Dixie Crystal
