D
Me and my best friend Lillian
D
And her blue tick hound dog Gideon
G
Sittin on the front porch cooling in the shade
D
Singin every song the radio played
A
Waitin for the Alabama sun to go down
G
Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town
D
Me and Lillian
Bm A G D
Just across the line and a little southeast of Meridian
She loved her brother I remember back when
A
She said there's not much hope for a red dirt girl
G
Somewhere out there is a great big world
D
Thats where I'm bound
A
And the stars might fall on Alabama
G
But one of these days I'm gonna swing
D
My hammer down
A
Away from this red dirt town
D
I'm gonna make a joyful sound
She grew up tall and she grew up thin
F#m
She tried hard to love him but it never did take
G
It was just another way for the heart to break
D
So she learned to bend
F#m
But one thing they don't tell you about the blues when you got em
G
You keep on falling cause there ain't no bottom
D
There ain't no end
A
At least not for Lillian
Nobody knows when she started her skid
