Alabama My Home's In Alabama (Live) Lyrics

Drinkin 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 livin playin 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 and then on to l.a.
Up to new york city, all across the usa
I lost so much of me but theres enough of me to say (that my)

Chorus:
..homes in alabama, no matter where I lay my head
My homes in alabama, southern born and southern bred

What keeps me goin? I dont really know.
Cant be the money the lord knows Im always broke
Could it be the satisfaction of bein understood
When the people really love ya and let you know when its good

Well Ill speak my southern english just as natural as I please
Im in the heart of dixie, dixies in the heart of me
And someday when I make it, when love finds a way
Somewhere high on lookout mountain Ill just smile with pride and say that my

Chorus
