Hey Dixie. You were pretty Smart, weren't You? You packed up And left your Dead end town Deadened life. Hey Dixie. You were pretty Sad, weren't You? Girls like You, girls like Us are Often sad. Hey Dixie. You were pretty Scared, weren't You? Ran, you ran And I never found Out if you ever caught Up with yourself. Hey Dixie. You were pretty Strong, weren't You? Stronger than the Coffee and whiskey Stronger than your Lipstick lullabies. Hey Dixie. You and I are Not the same Are we? You had a heart And I've got a soul Yet you took the Easy way out. Hey Dixie. I guess you were Pretty smart Huh?

Hey Dixie
Hey Dixie. You were pretty Smart, weren't You? You packed up And left your Dead end town Deadened life. Hey Dixie. You were pretty Sad, weren't You? Girls like You, girls like Us are Often sad. Hey Dixie. You were pretty Scared, weren't You? Ran, you ran And I never found Out if you ever caught Up with yourself. Hey Dixie. You were pretty Strong, weren't You? Stronger than the Coffee and whiskey Stronger than your Lipstick lullabies. Hey Dixie. You and I are Not the same Are we? You had a heart And I've got a soul Yet you took the Easy way out. Hey Dixie. I guess you were Pretty smart Huh?
