I'll write your name across the sky
|
And take away the stars cause you light up the night
|
Feel as high as the moon when you're here with me
|
That's why I'm gonna write your name for the world to see
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
Another old man on the porch with a bottle
|
Wind blows and the old rocking chair wobbles
|
He's just a waving, everybody's welcomed
|
All he can say about the youth is Lord help a¢æ?em
|
Gotta couple grandbabies but they never call though
|
Let him in the South and they moved to Chicago
|
Wife's in Heaven and he says ever since
|
Vietnam life's been hard as a veteran
|
Simple life just a 6-pack, ice cold
|
Crossed the Georgia line for a ticket for the Lotto
|
Probably never see his name in the headlines
|
But if I had a plane I'd put it in the sky
|
Alabama!

[Verse 2]
|
She's in love yeah, friends call her crazy
|
Met him at a party they started dating
|
Daddy's little angel, mama's little lady
|
Only sixteen now Brenda's got a baby
|
She can't afford to, drop out of high school
|
Jimmy's not a man and he can't provide you
|
He doesn't want to, but you kept it anyhow
|
Nine months down the road, whatcha gonna do now?
|
Go to the food stamp office and apply
|
If you find a job it'll help you get by
|
And you made it when you didn't know how
|
Now that's a real star, put her name in clouds
|
Alabama!

[Verse 3]
|
You may never be on television
|
Or be the one your boss at work loves
|
Giving you employee of the month
|
You may never be the first string on a champion team
|
You may be the star the world just hasn't seen
|
But that don't make you any less of a star to God
|
Being rich is only realizing it's all a facade
|
You're richer than you think in that old small town
|
Cause people like you make the world go a¢æ?round
|
Alabama!
