Jamey Johnson - Stars In Alabama lyrics
rate meI said, "Mama don't you worry<br />
I'm getting by just fine out on the road<br />
Yeah, tonight we played in Knoxville<br />
And tomorrow night it's back to Music Row<br />
<br />
No, I don't know when I'm comin' home<br />
Montgomery seems so very far away"<br />
She said, "Boy, it wouldn't kill you now<br />
To look out past the bright lights on that stage<br />
<br />
'Cause God put stars in Alabama<br />
You just can't find in Tennessee<br />
The same ones are waiting on you<br />
That taught you how to dream<br />
<br />
I know there's big names up in Nashville<br />
And you'll be one before too long<br />
But God put stars in Alabama<br />
To help you find your way back home<br />
<br />
I hung up the phone and I could feel<br />
The emptiness at 80 miles an hour<br />
And I listened close and I could hear<br />
My heart beating louder than the tires<br />
<br />
This old bus was headed west<br />
But my mind was drifting<br />
Somewhere towards the south<br />
And I closed my eyes and I could see<br />
The bright lights shining clearly through the clouds<br />
<br />
'Cause God put stars in Alabama<br />
You just can't find in Tennessee<br />
The same ones are waiting on you<br />
That taught you how to dream<br />
<br />
She said, "There's big names up in Nashville<br />
And you'll be one before too long<br />
But God put stars in Alabama<br />
To help you find your way back home<br />
<br />
Yeah, there's stars in Alabama<br />
That just can't wait 'til you get home<br /><br />
