Текст Eric Church, Chuck Leavell — Dixie Chicken

I’ve seen the bright lights of Memphis, and the Commodore Hotel
And underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle
Oh she took me down to the river, where she cast her spell
And in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so well

If you’ll be my Dixie chicken, I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Down in Dixieland

Well, we made all the hotspots, yeah my money flowed like wine
Then the lowdown southern whiskey, oh, began to fog my mind
And I don’t remember church bells or the money I put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk
On the house at the end of town
Oh, but boy do I remember the strain of her refrain
And the nights we spent together
And the way she called my name

If you’ll be my Dixie chicken, I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Down in Dixieland

It’s been many years since she ran away
I g uess that guitar player sure could play
She always liked to sing along
She’s always handy with a song
Yeah but then one night in the lobby, of the Commodore Hotel
I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well
And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song
And all the boys there, at the bar, began to sing along

If you’ll be my Dixie chicken I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Down in Dixieland
Oh Dixieland
Bring it on down, bring it on down

Yeah you’ll be my Dixie chicken I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
If you’ll be my Dixie chicken I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
