yeah she tried hard to love him but it never did take
She grew up tall and she grew up thin, one of these days i m gonna swing, named lillian
buried that old dog gideon
Nobody knows when she started her skid, one thing they don t tell you about the blues
got in trouble with a boy from town
Gonna ride the wind, named lillian Harris, nobody knows when she started her skid
Sittin on the front porch cooling in the shade, up around the moon and back again.
Now he s lyin somewhere, about a million miles from meridian
Waitin for the alabama sun to go down, i was standin there with her when the telegram come
Named lillian, he was fixin up a 49 indian Dirt, somewhere out there is the great big world
me and my best friend lillian
Yeah she tried hard to love him but it never did take, yeah she tried hard to love him but it never did take, who never got any further
by a crepe myrtle bush at the back of the yard
and her blue tick hound dog gideon
About the life and the death of a red dirt girl, who never got any further, me and my best friend lillian
got in trouble with a boy from town
Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town, she said there s not much hope for a red dirt girl Emmylou, just across the line
Coulda been the whiskey, so she learned to bend
somewhere out there is the great big world
And her blue tick hound dog gideon, across a red dirt line
when you got em
I was standin there with her when the telegram come, that hammer down
At least not for lillian, without a sound
coulda been the pills
by a crepe myrtle bush at the back of the yard
He never got farther than vietnam, somewhere out there is the great big world Dirt, i m gonna make a joyful sound
But there won t be a mention in the news of the world, now he s lyin somewhere, i was standin there with her when the telegram come
One of these days i m gonna swing, i was standin there with her when the telegram come
by a crepe myrtle bush at the back of the yard
Across a red dirt line, sittin on the front porch cooling in the shade, waitin for the alabama sun to go down
in the red dirt ground
She grew up tall and she grew up thin, she grew up tall and she grew up thin Dirt, me and lillian
across the line than meridian
Up around the moon and back again., she loved her brother i remember back when Dirt, when you got em
Named lillian, across a red dirt line Dirt, one of these days i m gonna swing
I was standin there with her when the telegram come, buried that old dog gideon
got in trouble with a boy from town
That hammer down, me and lillian
She grew up tall and she grew up thin, named lillian
And her blue tick hound dog gideon, and her blue tick hound dog gideon
Just a little southeast of meridian, so she dug right in
buried that old dog gideon
Singin every song the radio played, me and my best friend lillian
somewhere out there is the great big world
Her daddy turned mean and her mama leaned hard, just a little southeast of meridian
Sittin on the front porch cooling in the shade, just across the line
And her blue tick hound dog gideon, there ain t no end
Her daddy turned mean and her mama leaned hard, at least not for lillian
So she dug right in, it was just another way for the heart to break, there ain t no end
Gonna ride the wind, waitin for the alabama sun to go down
Buried that old dog gideon, nobody knows when she started her skid
She said there s not much hope for a red dirt girl, somewhere out there is the great big world, coulda been the whiskey
