me and my best friend Lillian and her blue deckhound dog, Gideon
sitting on the front porch, cooling in the shade, singing a song the radio [Eb] played
waiting for the Alabama sun to go down, [Db] two red dirt girls in a ramblin' town, [Ab] me and Lillian _ _ _ _ _
just across the line, [Eb] in the little [Db] southeast of Meridian _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ she loved her brother, I remember back when, he was fixing up a 49 in the [Db] end
told her little sister, go to ride the [Ab] wind, up around the moon and back [Eb] again
never got further than [Db] Vietnam, I was sitting there with her when the telegram [Ab] come for Lillian
_ _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] I was lying somewhere [Eb] about a million miles [Db] from Arabian
[Ab] she _ _ _ [Eb] said there's not much hope for red dirt [Db] girls, so I'm going out there, it's a great big [Ab] world, that's where I'm bound _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] these days I'm gonna swing my [Ab] F for now, _ [Eb] away from this red dirt town, _ _ _ [Ab] _ gonna make a joyful _ sound
_ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ she _ _ _ _ grew up tall, she grew up thin, there be that old dog, [Db] Gideon
by a creek, myrtle bush, in the back [Ab] of the yard, her daddy turned mean and her mama mean [Eb] heart
got in trouble with a boy from [Db] town, figured that she might as well settle [Ab] down, so she took riding
_ across _ _ the red dirt line, [Eb] just a little southeast [Db] of Meridian _
she [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Cm] tried hard to love him, but it never did take, [Db] it was just another way for the heart to break, [Ab] so she learned to bend
_ _ _ [Cm] one thing they don't tell you about the blues when you got [Db] it, they keep on falling, cause there ain't no [Ab] bottles and there ain't no win, _ _ it's [Eb] not for Lillian _
_ nobody _ _ [Ab] _ knows when she started to skid, she was only 27 and she had 5 [Db] kids
could have been the whiskey, could have been the [Ab] pills, could have been the dream she was trying to kill
[Eb] there won't be a mention in the news of the [Db] world of the life and the death of a red dirt [Ab] girl named Lillian _
who _ _ never got any [Eb] further across the line [Db] than Meridian
_ [Ab] now _ _ [Eb] the stars still fall, and [Db] by tonight she finally laid that [Ab] hammer down _
[Eb] without a sound, _ _ _ _ [Ab] in the red dirt ground _ _ _
