Garth Brooks — Dixie Chicken

[Verse 1] I seen the bright lights of Memphis And the Commodore Hotel And it was there beneath the streetlamp Where I met a southern belle Well, she took me to the river Where she cast her spell And it was 'neath that Memphis moonlight She sang this song so well [Chorus] If you'll be my Dixie chicken Hey, I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together Down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland [Verse 2] We hit all the hotspots Hey, my money flowed like wine 'Til the lowdown southern whiskey, yeah Began to fog my mind Well, I don't remember church bells Or the money I put down On the white picket fence and boardwalk At the house on the edge of town Now, but boy do I remember The strain of her refrain And the nights we spent together And the way she called my name [Chorus] If you'll be my Dixie chicken Hey, I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together Down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland Yodelay-delay-hee [Interlude] [Verse 3] It's been a year since she ran away Guess that guitar player sure could play She always liked to sing along He was always handy with a song Then one night in the lobby Of the Commodore Hotel I by chance met 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 [Chorus] If you'll be my Dixie chicken Hey, I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together Down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland [Outro] If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together Down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland Yodelay-delay-hee
