Stars In Alabama Lyrics by Jamey Johnson
Jamey Johnson Lyrics
(Instrumental Intro)
I said, âMama donât you worry, Iâm getting by just fine out on the road.
Yeah, tonight we played in Knoxville and tomorrow night its back to Music Row.
No, I donât know when Iâm coming home, Montgomery seems so very far awayâ.
She said, âBoy, it wouldnât kill you none to look out past the bright lights on that stage.
(Chorus)
âCause God put stars in Alabama. You just canât find in Tennessee.
The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to dream.
I know thereâs big names up in Nashville. And youâll be one before too long.
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home.â
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.
(Chorus)
âCause God put stars in Alabama. You just canât find in Tennessee.
The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to dream.
She said, âThereâs big names up in Nashville. And youâll be one before too long.
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home."
Yeah, thereâs stars in Alabama. (Pause) That just canât wait âtil you get home.
(Instrumental Finish)
