I said, "Mama don't you worry, I'm getting by just fine out on the road.
|
Yeah, tonight we played in Knoxville and tomorrow night it's back to Music Row.
|
No, I don't know when I'm coming home, Montgomery seems so very far away."
|
She said, "Boy, it wouldn't kill you none to look out past the bright lights on that stage.
|
|
'Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can't find in Tennessee.
|
The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to dream.
|
I know there's big names up in Nashville. And you'll be one before too long.
|
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home."
|
|
I hung up the phone and I could feel the emptiness at 80 miles an hour.
|
And I listened close and I could hear my heart beating louder than the tires.
|
This old bus was headed west but my mind was drifting somewhere towards the south.
|
And I closed my eyes and I could see the bright lights shining clearly through the clouds.
|
|
'Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can't find in Tennessee.
|
The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to dream.
|
She said, "There's big names up in Nashville. And you'll be one before too long.
|
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home."
|
|
Yeah, there's stars in Alabama.
|
That just can't wait 'til you get home.
