Текст песни My Home's In Alabama - Live February 5, 1982; Florence, AL - Alabama

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

No matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama,
Southern born and Southern bred.

What keeps me goin' I don't really know
Can't be the money, Lord, knows I'm always broke
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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...
