dixie avenue

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
