Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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] While I'm 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 [Verse 3] 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] Still I'm 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 [Outro] Waiting on tables and passing myself around Dixie girl, you're the small talk in a small talking town
