Dixie Avenue

(album: Volunteer - 2018)

Down Rockingham County
I was born and raised
To be a rock town rocker
For the rest of my days
I was a rebel with a heart
Big enough for two
When I met you on the corner
Of Dixie Avenue

Just a valley girl
From out on 33
Fire in her eyes
Like the devil's drink
We were two young lovers
With nothing to do
So we danced down the middle
Of Dixie avenue

Down at the Quick Lunch
Making up plans
Riding with Johnny
Off to Rawley Springs
This town's got no future
It's all in the past
So let's rattle our bones
Before they lay us to rest

And when the light comes
Shining from a southern moon
We'll be dancing down the middle
Of Dixie Avenue
When the big bright sun
Starts burning through
We'll still be dancing
On Dixie Avenue
Keep on dancing on Dixie Avenue

Now the Rockingham County
Summer fell in fall
Leaves turned gold
By the old stone wall
We met at the Quick Lunch
She told me the news
There's gonna be a daddy
On Dixie Avenue

Down at the court house
I'm making up plans
Calling up Johnny
He's my best man
This town is our future
We put down are roots in
And bought a little house
Down on Dixie Avenue

And when the light comes
Shining from a southern moon
We'll be dancing down the middle
Of Dixie Avenue
When the big bright sun
Starts burning through
We'll still be dancing
On Dixie Avenue
We'll keep on dancing
On Dixie Avenue
Keep on dancing
On Dixie Avenue
