Down in Rockingham County I was born and raised I'll be a Rock-town rocker for the rest of my days I was a rebel with a heart big enough for two When I met you on the corner of Dixie Avenue Just a valley girl from out on 33 Fire in her eyes like the Devil's dream We were two young lovers with nothin' to do So we danced down the middle of Dixie Avenue Down at the Quick Lunch, makin' up plans Ridin' with Jonny out to Rawley Springs This town's got no future: it's all in the past So let's rattle our bones before they lay us to rest When the light comes shinin' from a southern moon We'll be dancin' down the middle of Dixie Avenue When the big, bright sun starts a-burnin' through We'll still be a-dancin' on Dixie Avenue Keep on dancin' on Dixie Avenue Down in Rockingham County summer fell into fall Leaves turned gold by the old stone wall We met at the Quick Lunch, she told me the news There's gonna be a daddy on Dixie Avenue Down at the courthouse, a-makin' up plans Callin' up Jonny, he's my best man This town is our future, we put down our roots And bought a little house down on Dixie Avenue And when the light comes shinin' from a southern moon We'll be dancin' down the middle of Dixie Avenue When the big, bright sun starts a-burnin' through We'll still be a-dancin' on Dixie Avenue Keep on dancin' on Dixie Avenue Keep on dancin' on Dixie Avenue
