Me and my best friend Lillian
And her blue tick hound dog Gideon

Sittin' on the front porch coolin' in the shade

Singin' every song the radio played

Waitin' for the Alabama sun to go down

Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town

Bm
Yes, she tried hard to love him
But it never did take

Just another way for the heart to break

When you got 'em
'cause there ain't no bottom

There ain't no end at least not for Lillian
Verse 4

Nobody knows when she started her skid
She was only 27 and she had five kids

Could have been the whiskey,
could have been the pills

Could have been the dream

But there won't be a mention
in the new little world

About the life and the death of a red dirt girl
