Dixie Highway Songtext
von Hungry Chuck

There′s a road of no direction
It's a mystery to tell
One end runs in circles
Around a wishing well
The other end I understand
Will lead you straight to Hell
And it′s by the natives called the Dixie Highway

There I met a girl who did not know
Where she was from
Her mother died in childbirth
And her father died of rum
Money she had little
Of good times some
But they come few and far between
Along the Dixie Highway


First she took me to the sea
Then she took me out to see her waterfall
A belle who'd lost the ball
She hadn't heard the call
And she was crying

She asked me to protect her
From the raging storm
Though I tried the whole night through
I could not keep her warm
But I kept trying

Come all you gentle people
Come gather ′round and pray
For all of those who see the sun
But not the light of day
Who can′t afford to leave
But do not have the will to stay
Lost forever on the Dixie Highway
