Alabama - My Home's In Alabama Lyrics
Words and music by randy owen and teddy gentryDrinkin was forbidden in my christian country homeI learned to play the flattop on them good ol gospel songsThen I heard about the barrooms just across the georgia lineWhere a boy could make a livin playin guitar late at nightHad to learn about the ladies; too young to understandWhy the young girls fall in love with the boys in the bandWhen the boys turn to music, the girls just turn awayTo some other guitar picker in some other late night placeYeah, I held on to my music; I let the ladies walk awayTook my songs and dreams to nashville and then on to l.a.Up to new york city, all across the usaI lost so much of me but theres enough of me to say (that my)Chorus:..homes in alabama, no matter where I lay my headMy homes in alabama, southern born and southern bredWhat keeps me goin? I dont really know.Cant be the money the lord knows Im always brokeCould it be the satisfaction of bein understoodWhen the people really love ya and let you know when its goodWell Ill speak my southern english just as natural as I pleaseIm in the heart of dixie, dixies in the heart of meAnd someday when I make it, when love finds a waySomewhere high on lookout mountain Ill just smile with pride and say that myChorus
