D                  |C                  |G                  |D

Shining like the Alabama moon She's

D                  |C                  |G                  |D

looking for her promised land

D                  |D                  |D/c                |D/c

keys out of his pocket she's careful not to slam the

D                  |D                  |C                  |C

door and as she drives she rubs her

promised land Out beyond the lights of

Birmingham

And as the rain falls down upon the interstate


Any doubts she had are all but washed away


One long look back at


Bir................ming...........ham... 'cause there's


another chance and someday soon


Shining like the Alabama moon


She's looking for her promised land


Out beyond the lights of Birmingham.......
