lyrics

Alabama’s Gone

I been in love with you since school in Alabama
But lately I been thinkin, that’s a long time ago
And there we are standin in a snapshot in mobile
Those two young lovers that we used to know

Chorus:
Now I’m, stuck halfway between, forever and leavin
I got one hand letting go, and the other one keepin
Hold of the best thing, that ever come along
But how can I stay now, now that Alabamas gone

The smell of your skin, warmed by the ocean
Now That I remember, though I cannot recall
The last time we stayed in, and sang all the old songs
And missed all the parties, and didn’t miss them at all.

Chorus:
Now I’m, stuck somewhere between, forever and leavin
I got one hand letting go, and the other one keepin
Hold of the best thing that ever came along
But how can I stay now, now that Alabamas gone


Bridge:
The concrete’s so gray and the sun don’t seem to shine
And you no longer talk, about things on your mind
Are you tired of the city, and this man you now see
Are you longin for some old jeans and the girl you used to be

Are you stuck somewhere between, Forever and leavin
You got one hand letting go, but are you still believin
I'm still boy, who knows the old songs
Please won’t you stay, And tell me, Alabama’s not gone.
