Red Dirt Girl Chords & Tabs
G
Me and my best friend Lillian
C
And her blue tick hound dog Gideon,
C
Sittin on the front porch cooling in the shade
G
Singin every song the radio played
D
Waitin for the Alabama sun to go down
C
Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town
G
Me and Lillian
C G
Just across the line and a little southeast of Meridian.

She loved her brother I remember back when
He was fixin up a '49 Indian
He told her 'Little sister, gonna ride the wind
Up around the moon and back again"
He never got farther than Vietnam,
I was standin there with her when the telegram come
For Lillian.
Now he's lyin somewhere about a million miles from Meridian.
She said there's not much hope for a red dirt girl
Somewhere out there is a great big world
Thats where I'm bound
And the stars might fall on Alabama
But one of these days I'm gonna swing
My hammer down
Away from this red dirt town
I'm gonna make a joyful sound
