I just saw an Angel in Dixie
In Heaven the other night
On my way to New Orleans
Can't get her off my mind
There's many miles of highway
Between me and the county line
Thinkin' about my Angel in Dixie
Tell me where is she tonight
She was gone out of sight but she's on my mind
Well, I've searched the world over
She might be the one to share my life
Or honey just help me through the night
We rolled into Texas
I was feelin' mighty good
When I saw this Angel
Lookin' like she surely could
Standin' there with long blond hair
And the blue sky in her eyes
I can't remember the last time I forgot somethin'
I forgot my own name that night
She was gone out of sight but she's on my mind
Well, I've searched the world high and low
And darlin', I've got to say
Still think about you every day
Man, we had a big ole time
Everything was right
Search the crowd still missin'
Lord, my angel of the night
I turned to go and there she was
I said, darlin' you made my day
She smiled and brought me to my knees
Said thanks and walked away
She was gone out of sight but she's on my mind
Well, I've searched the world over
She might be the one to share my life
Or honey just help me through the night
'Cause I have waited all my life
Yeah, I've been waitin' all my life
For my Angel in Dixie
