King of Alabama |
Well, I didn’t know him best |
He’d say we were friends |
We both rode the highways on the song |
So I’m writing this one here in memory of him |
'Cause the King of Alabama has gone home |
He was a man among men, the old-school kind |
Had a great big heart, a laid-back mind |
Let you hold his guitar if you broke his string |
If you thought he looked country, outta heard him sing |
From Alabama 'cross the Rio Grande |
He beat the blacktop down with a five-piece band |
Not because he loved it — he did that too — |
But he did it man 'cause that’s what he was born to do |
Some people calculate moves |
He never had a thing to prove |
He just let the wind take him where it may |
It’s a damn shame the way things go |
It’s too bad we have to lose the good folks |
But the King of Alabama has gone home |
«Nothin' good ever happens after midnight,» so the story goes |
You can’t trust nobody, it don’t matter how close |
It was a friend that took him from his family |
I keep his chain in my pocket, his son in my prayers |
Every stage I’m on, I can feel him there |
Some people calculate moves |
He never had a thing to prove |
He just let the wind take him where it may |
It’s a damn shame the way things go |
It’s too bad we have to lose the good folks |
But the King of Alabama has gone home |
Some people calculate moves |
He never had a thing to prove |
He just let the wind take him where it may |
He’d say Honky tonk’s the trick |
But get a guitar and grab your pick |
Let the old tunes possess you and play yeah |
It’s a damn shame the way things go |
It’s too bad we have to lose the good folks |
But the King of Alabama |
The King of Alabama |
The King of Alabama has gone home |
