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 She grew up tall and she grew up thin Buried that old dog Gideon By a crepe myrtle bush in the back of the yard, Her daddy turned mean and her mama leaned hard Got in trouble with a boy from town Figured that she might as well settle down So she dug right in Across a red dirt line just a little south east from Meridian She tried hard to love him but it never did take It was just another way for the heart to break So she dug right in. But one thing they don't tell you about the blues When you got em You keep on falling cause there ain't no bottom There ain't know end. At least not for Lillian Nobody knows when she started her skid, She was only 27 and she had five kids. Coulda' been the whiskey, Coulda been the pills, Coulda been the dream she was trying to kill. But there won't be a mention in the news of the world About the life and the death of a red dirt girl Names Lillian Who never got any farther across the line than Meridian. Now the stars still fall on Alabama Tonight she finally laid That hammer down Without a sound In the red dirt ground Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Rhythm Guitar, Someone Like You, Tennessee Rose, Timberline, Today I Started Loving You Again, Wheels of Love, Orphan Girl, Angel Eyes, The First Noel, Ill Be Your San Antone Rose, Satans Jewel Crown, Baby Better Start Turnin Em Down, Good News, Its Only Rock N Roll, Like An Old Fashioned Waltz, On The Radio, Bad News, Ballad of Sally Rose, Diamond in My Crown, Heart to Heart, Long Tall Sally Rose, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, White Line, (Lost His Love) On Our Last Date, All My Tears (Be Washed Away), Blackhawk, Deeper Well, Every Grain Of Sand, Goin Back To Harlan, Goodbye, May This Be Love, Sweet Old World, Waltz Across Texas Tonight, Where Will I Be, Beyond the Blue, Another Lonesome Morning, Son Of A Rotten Gambler, Tennessee Waltz, The Last Cheaters Waltz, All My Tears, The Maker, Devil In Disguise, Im Movin On, Its Not Love (But Its Not Bad), Long May You Run, Racing In The Street, Restless, Return Of The Grievous Angel, So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad), Call On Me, Other Harris Emmylou song Lyrics BALLAD OF A RUNAWAY HORSE Album Cowgirls Prayer 19 Lyrics Beneath Still Waters Lyrics BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU Album Brand New Dance 1990 Lyrics Beyond The Blue Ft.
