Alabama

it'd been too long since I'd been home

alabama

she knows when I'm feeling alone

alabama

she called me and I came

alabama

but now she don't look the same


chorus:

they put a lightbulb in your face

U.S. timbre leaves no trace

just a subdivided space

and all the people i have missed

put a chain link around their wrists

and you're losing a losing race


alabama

they pulled the rope-swing from your yard

alabama

she takes losing so hard

alabama

and now your eyes are full of smoke

alabama

i believe my heart is broke


chorus


everyone has said goodbye

and i'm so lonesome i could cry


Alabama

We all fiddled while your bridges burned

Alabama

look, the leaves are beginning to turn


chorus
