I still play piano bars,still drive that same old car 
I live in that little shack in Tupelo. 
Dixie is a queen of billboard magazine 
Goin cross the country doin one night shows. 
A man walks up with a dollar in his hand. 
Says let me hear the song by dixie and the guitar man. 
And as the dollar falls to the bottom of my jar. 
I get close but no cigar.
