My Home's In Alabama
(专辑: My Home's In Alabama - 1980)
Drinking was forbidden In my Christian country home I
learned to play the
flattop On them good ol' Gospel songs Then I
heard about the
barrooms Just across the
Georgia line Where a
boy could make a
living Playing guitar late at night. Had to learn about the
ladies; Too young to understand Why the
young girls fall in love With the
boys in the
band When the
boys turn to music, The
girls just turn away To some other guitar picker In some other late night place. Yeah, I
held on to my music; I
let the
ladies walk away Took my songs and dreams to Nashville Then I
moved on to L.A. Up to New York City, All across the
USA I
lost so much of me But there's enough of me to say, that my.. Home's in Alabama, No matter where I
lay my head My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred. What keeps me going I
don't really know Can't be the
money Lord knows I'm always broke Could it be the
satisfaction Of being understood When the
people really love ya And let you know when it's good Oh I'll speak my Southern English Just as natural as I
please I'm in the
heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the
heart of me And someday when I
make it, When love finds a
way Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll just smile with pride and say, that my Home's in Alabama, No matter where I
lay my head My home's in Alabama, Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred And my home's in Alabama, No matter where I
lay my head My home's in Alabama, Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred...
