Stars In Alabama

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I said, "Mama don't you worry I'm gettin' by just fine out on the road Yeah, tonight we played in Knoxville And tomorrow night it's back to Music Row Naw, I don't know when I'm comin' home Montgomery seems so very far away" She said, "Boy, it wouldn't kill you now To look out past the bright lights on that stage" [Chorus] 'Cause God put stars in Alabama You just can't find in Tennessee The same ones are waitin' 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 [Verse 2] 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 beatin' louder than the tires This old bus was headed west But my mind was driftin' somewhere toward the south And I closed my eyes and I could see the bright lights shinin' clearly through the clouds [Chorus] 'Cause God put stars in Alabama You just can't find in Tennessee The same ones are waitin' 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 [Outro] Yeah, there's stars in Alabama That just can't wait 'til you get home
