Goodbye Dixie

(álbum: Honky Tonks And Cheap Motels - 2008)

She left home today
Left behind a life of failure and promises
An old suitcase in her hand
Filled with lies and memories of me
Well it's been a long time coming
Yeah she been up and down that same old road
Well hell she been talking 'bout leaving for so long
And Lord this time I think she's gonna go
Just wanted to tell you I'm sorry
It took 12 years for her to leave

Goodbye Dixie
Girl ramble on
This old dirty town getting way to small
Goodbye Dixie
See you around
Well that downton train is rolling on
It's rolling on

I ain't gonna work on the railroad
Ain't gonna work on a farm, no
I'm gonna lay around this shack
Til the mail train come back
And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Sometimes it seems like tomorrow
Turned it's back on yesterday
And all of my pain
And all of my heartache and sorrow
Ain't gonna be enough to make her stay

Goodbye Dixie
Girl ramble on
This old dirty town getting way to small
Goodbye Dixie
See you around
That downtown train is rolling on
It's rolling on
