[Verse 1]
          G                      C         G
Down in Rockingham County I was born and raised
            G                         D          G
I'll be a Rock-town rocker for the rest of my days
         G                        C        G
I was a rebel with a heart big enough for two
         G                       D      G        G C G  G D G
When I met you on the corner of Dixie Avenue 


[Verse 2]
  G                           C  G
Just a valley girl from out on 33
 G                         D        G
Fire in her eyes like the Devil's dream
          G                   C          G
We were two young lovers with nothin' to do
          G                      D      G
So we danced down the middle of Dixie Avenue


[Verse 3]
  D                        G
Down at the Quick Lunch, makin' up plans
  C                         G       D
Ridin' with Jonny out to Rawley Springs
       D                         G
This town's got no future: it's all in the past
          C                             D
So let's rattle our bones before they lay us to rest


[Chorus]
             G                     C          G
When the light comes shinin' from a southern moon
            G                        D       G
We'll be dancin' down the middle of Dixie Avenue
          G                         C        G
When the big, bright sun starts a-burnin' through
         G                    D      G
We'll still be a-dancin' on Dixie Avenue
   G                 D      G
Keep on dancin' on Dixie Avenue

[Verse 4]
           G                      C          G
Down in Rockingham County summer fell into fall
  G                        D          G
Leaves turned gold by the old stone wall
     G                          C           G
We met at the Quick Lunch, she told me the news
          G                 D       G
There's gonna be a daddy on Dixie Avenue


[Verse 5]
   D                          G
Down at the courthouse, a-makin' up plans
  C                     G       D
Callin' up Jonny, he's my best man
      D                     G
This town is our future, we put down our roots
        C                         D
And bought a little house down on Dixie Avenue


[Chorus]
              G                            C      G
And when the light comes shinin' from a southern moon
    G                              D         G
We'll be dancin' down the middle of Dixie Avenue
          G                        C         G
When the big, bright sun starts a-burnin' through
         G                   D       G
We'll still be a-dancin' on Dixie Avenue
  G                   D    G
Keep on dancin' on Dixie Avenue
  G                   D    G
Keep on dancin' on Dixie Avenue
