Alabama Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alabama, I'm thinkin' of you, everyday
I never knew, how far my heart would roam
Hey, Montgomery, how'd you get so far away
Alabama, you are my home sweet home

[Verse 2]
I never knew the sun could rise, like it does in Jacksonville
The moon in all her splendor falls, when she falls on old Goat Hill
I never heard those yellow birds, sing such a lovely song
Alabama, you are my home sweet home

[Verse 3]
Alabama, you're such a good friend of mine
Mmm, you keep me goin' strong, whenever I'm feelin' low
Yeah an' I get homesick, aww man I swear, everytime I cross the line
Alabama, you are my home sweet home

[Verse 4]
I've seen those sparklin' waterfalls, just north of Buffalo
And I've seen those snowcapped mountain tops, out west in Colorado
And I've seen a million city lights, just make the whole world glow
But Alabama, you're still my home sweet home

[Outro]
And everytime I cross the line, those memories unfold
Alabama, you're still my home sweet home

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
