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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus x2]
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 [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus x2] Explain Request ×
