Red Dirt Girl - Emmylou Harris[00:00:02]

Me and my best friend Lillian[00:00:21]

And her blue tick hound dog gideon[00:00:24]

Sittin on the front porch cooling in the shade[00:00:27]

Singin every song the radio played[00:00:30]

Waitin for the alabama sun to go down[00:00:33]

Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town[00:00:35]

Me and Lillian[00:00:38]

Just across the line[00:00:44]

And a little southeast of meridian[00:00:46]

She loved her brother I remember back when[00:00:53]

He was fixin' up a '49 indian[00:00:56]

He told her 'little sister gonna ride the wind[00:00:59]

Up around the moon and back again[00:01:02]

He never got farther than vietnam[00:01:05]

I was standin there with her when the telegram come[00:01:08]

For Lillian[00:01:11]

Now he's lyin somewhere[00:01:17]

About a million miles from meridian[00:01:18]

She said there's not much hope for a red dirt girl[00:01:25]

Somewhere out there is the great big world[00:01:29]

Thats where I'm bound[00:01:31]

And the stars might fall on alabama[00:01:37]

One of these days I'm gonna swing[00:01:40]

My hammer down[00:01:43]

Away from this red dirt town[00:01:46]

I'm gonna make a joyful sound[00:01:52]

She grew up tall and she grew up thin[00:02:07]

Buried that old dog gideon[00:02:10]

By a crepe myrtle bush at the back of the yard[00:02:13]

Her daddy turned mean and her mama leaned hard[00:02:16]

Got in trouble with a boy from town[00:02:19]

Figured that she might as well settle down[00:02:22]

So she dug right in[00:02:25]

Across a red dirt line[00:02:31]

Just a little southeast of meridian[00:02:32]

Yeah she tried hard to love him but it never did take[00:02:40]

It was just another way for the heart to break[00:02:43]

So she learned to bend[00:02:46]

One thing they don't tell you about the blues[00:02:52]

When you got 'em[00:02:54]

You keep on falling cause there ain't no bottom[00:02:55]

There ain't no end[00:02:57]

At least not for Lillian[00:03:03]

Nobody knows when she started her skid[00:03:10]

She was only 27 and she had five kids[00:03:12]

Coulda been the whiskey[00:03:15]

Coulda been the pills[00:03:17]

Coulda been the dream she was trying to kill[00:03:18]

But there won't be a mention in the news of the world[00:03:21]

About the life and the death of a red dirt girl[00:03:24]

Named Lillian[00:03:27]

Who never got any further[00:03:33]

Across the line than meridian[00:03:34]

Now the stars still fall on alabama[00:03:42]

Tonight she finally laid[00:03:45]

That hammer down[00:03:47]

Without a sound[00:03:51]

In the red dirt ground[00:03:57]
