Driving down old highway 82 And the moonlight is pouring through The pine trees Or were they magnolia leaves? I remember that look in your eye Like the last puff of a cigarette burning out against a summer sky It's been eight years gone, do I remember it right? In the Heart of Dixie In the heart of the night Now I know love gets battered down It can be jilted, hung up, or forced to drown But we tried and we danced for awhile Yet I can't recall if you even smiled When I said Baby, I like the way you dress Why don't you come over here, try just a little tenderness? Weren't those the words I said when we first met? Now the clothes are at the foot of the bed I sit down at the breakfast spread The communion wine, the broken bread What were the words I said? My mouth is dry, my friends have fled I clutch my stupid, aching head What were the words I said? I think this is what I said: I said Can I come home with you? Can I come home with you? We'll stay up all night and sleep in way past noon? Can I come home with you? Now I'm just unstuck in time Which face gave me that look? Which hand gave me that sign? Was it you pulling me up from the depths? Or did you just send back down with all your echoing footsteps? Staggering drunk in the moonlight In the Heart of Dixie In the heart of the night Last night I dreamed I saw General Lee Getting off his horse, coming up and thanking me But that's just a drunk reliving of a childhood fantasy Cause every rebel's buried and dead Cleaned up the breakfast spread No clothes at the foot of the bed What were the words I said? Stable's open, horses fled I clutch my stupid, aching head The blood of all my lovers shed What were the words I said? I said Can I come home with you? Can I come home with you? We'll stay up all night and sleep in way past noon? Can I come home with you? In the Heart of Dixie In the heart of the night In the Heart of Dixie In the heart, in the heat of the night
