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 Raleigh 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
