Alabama

I'm somewhere on that Jefferson Davis parkway
10 miles out of Jackson I believe
All these restless nights turn into dark days
With all these aces falling out of my sleeves
I've never been so lonesome I must say
Let the wheels turn around
Let the potter throw the clay

Cause I'm standing in the rain
Down here in Alabama
Watching all the trains
Down here in Alabama
Got me all turned upside down
Inside out, round and round
And peace is nowhere to be found
Down in Alabama

When I was standing in that empty house in Mobile
I swore I'd never pass this way again
So I sat down on the floor and drank
Till I could not feel anymore
The shapes and shadows move beneath my skin
Now I'm running for the overpass
Before the lightning starts again
Everything smells like ozone
Everywhere I've ever been

Now I'm running in the rain
Down here in Alabama
Hanging from a chain
Down here in Alabama
Got me all turned upside down
Inside out, round and round
And they'll put me in the ground
Down in Alabama
Heart of Dixie
Could not fix me
Will you miss me
Alabama
Heart of Dixie
Could not fix me
Will you miss me
Alabama
