Song language: English
My Home's in Alabama |
Drinking was forbidden in my Christian country home |
I learned to play the flattop on them good old Gospel songs |
Then I heard about the bar rooms 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, 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 you 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 |
