[Verse 1] Neon flickers on the old dance floor, Her heels are gone, but she wants one more. That jukebox hums a Conway tune, And I’m lost somewhere between me and you. [Pre-Chorus] Her perfume mixes with the smoke, That lonesome steel starts to choke. [Chorus] It’s the last slow dance in Dixie, Hearts still tangled in whiskey dreams. Ain’t no forever where the lights burn dim, But I’d die right here just to hold her again. Yeah, it’s the last slow dance in Dixie — And she’s still spinnin’ in my memory. [Verse 2] Her hand fit mine like Sunday grace, That song still echoes through this place. We were young enough to think it’d last, But some good things fade too fast. [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m just a ghost with a southern drawl, Waitin’ for her to take my call. [Chorus] It’s the last slow dance in Dixie, Hearts still tangled in whiskey dreams. Ain’t no forever where the lights burn dim, But I’d die right here just to hold her again. Yeah, it’s the last slow dance in Dixie — And she’s still spinnin’ in my memory. [Bridge] Every note’s a goodbye I can’t play, Every night I see her sway. If love’s a song that don’t repeat, Then this one’s mine on worn-out feet. [Final Chorus] It’s the last slow dance in Dixie, And the band’s long gone but I still see, Her eyes in the glow of that old marquee — She took my heart when she took the key. Yeah, it’s the last slow dance in Dixie, Where she’ll always dance with me. [Outro] Just one more turn before I fade, The last slow dance the good Lord made.
