My Home's In Alabama (Single Edit)

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

Then I moved on to L.A.

Up to New York City,

All across the USA

Could it be the satisfaction

Of bein' 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...
