Little Feat - On Your Way Down Lyrics
I've seen the bright lights of MemphisAnd the Commodore HotelAnd underneath a street lamp I met a Southern belleWell she took me to the river, where she cast her spellAnd in that Southern moonlight, she sang a song so wellIf you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tennessee lambAnd we can walk together down in dixielandDown in dixielandWell we made all the hot spots. My money flowed like wineThen that low down Southern whiskey began to fog my mindAnd I don't remember church bells or the money I put downOn the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of townBut boy do I remember the strain of her refrainThe nights we spent together, and the way she called my nameIf you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tennessee lambAnd we can walk together down in dixielandDown in dixielandWell it's been a year since she ran awayYes that guitar player sure could playShe always liked to sing alongShe's always handy with a songThen one night in the lobby of the Commodore HotelI chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her wellAnd as he handed me a drink he began to hum a songAnd all the boys there, at the bar, began to sign alongIf you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tennessee lambAnd we can walk together down in dixielandDown in dixieland
