[Verse 1]
D A
She's gettin' older, you'd think that she'd be farther
G
If she were smarter
D A
She'd turn the car around
D A
She won't admit it, but when the tough gets harder
G
She's her mother's daughter
D A
She's gonna let you down
[Chorus]
A D
Run away little Dixieland
G
Gone away is the steady hand
A D A
"Stayin' forever" is a promise that nobody can keep
D
Fly away little Delta Rose
G
She finds love where'er she goes
A D
"Stayin' forever" is the biggest lie she'll ever believe
[Verse 2]
D A
When she was younger she was more like her father
G
Faithful and stronger
D A
She was the light in his eyes
D A
And she'll deny it, but now that he's no longer
G
She's her mother's daughter
D A
Until the day she dies
[Chorus]
A D
Run away little Dixieland
G
Gone away is the steady hand
A D A
"Stayin' forever" is a promise that nobody can keep
D
Fly away little Delta Rose
G
She finds love where'er she goes
A D
"Stayin' forever" is the biggest lie she'll ever believe
[Chorus]
A D
Run away little Dixieland
G
Gone away is the steady hand
A D A
"Stayin' forever" is a promise that nobody can keep
D
Fly away little Delta Rose
G
She finds love where'er she goes
A D
"Stayin' forever" is the biggest lie she'll ever believe
A D
Ya, "Stayin' forever" is the biggest lie she'll ever believe
