Lyrics
The Glory The Glitter & The Glide
Well the Southland's not in Dixie
but there's Dixie in the streets
A thousand would be stars on every boulevard
And a musician every 25 feet
Looking for the glory the glitter and the glide
Well they come here from Chicago
And they come here from Tennessee
And they come here from every town across the states
to be all that they can be
Well there's a place for you in the Southland
But they are few and far between
A thousand hype-filled ads claim to make your dreams come true
But there never just quite what they seem
Lookin' for the Glory the Glitter & the Glide
Well the earth may move and their eyes may burn
in their high priced mini-chalets
but there's no stopin' them and their traffic jams
cause they all came here to play
Well if you decide that the southland's for you
Strap in for one roller coast ride
And maybe you'll be one of the few to reach the top
And keep from rollin' on down the other side
Lookin' for the Glory the Glitter and the Glide
A thousand would be stars on every boulevard
And a musician every 25 feet
Looking for the glory the glitter and the glide
