Alabama Album

Fantasy, midnight and you and me.
Ecstasy, spirits running wild and free.
Take me away, away.

Outside on a blanket in the moonlight, it feels right with my arns around you tight.
Laying under heaven watching the stars okay while me and you and Mother
Nature drift away.

Fantasy, midnight and you and me.
Ecstasy, spirits running wild and free.
Take me away, away.

Fantasy, midnight and you and me.
Ecstasy, spirits running wild and free.
Fantasy, midnight and you and me.
Ecstasy, spirits running wild and free.
Take me away, away.
Take me away, away.

Why lady why can't I leave you alone
I try lady try but the feeling's too strong
You stay on my mind feel just like a fool
Why lady why can't I get over you

Why lady why it was easy before
I try lady try but it ain't easy no more
To be on my way would be the best thing to do
Why lady why can't I get over you

Why lady why can't I leave you alone
I try lady try but the feeling's too strong
To be on my way would be the best thing to do
Why lady why can't I get over you

You're still the lady of my dreams
You're still my high school beauty queen
To me it's still magic when we touch
And I have never loved you so much

As right now
As right now

You're still my actress on the screen
Still the leading lady in my scenes
To me it's still magic when we touch
And I've still never loved someone so much

As right now
As right now

As right now

You're still the one I'm with when I'm alone
And you're still the lover calling on my phone
To me it's still magic when we touch
And I will never love someone so much

As right now
As right now
As right now
As right now
As right now
As right now
As right now

My dad was a big man with a will that was tough
He was the best when the going was rough
He made a living for the family and never had to cheat
To keep food on the table and shoes on our feet

We sat down at the table and thanked God in prayer
Cause we had plenty to eat and plenty wear
We had patches on our britches and momma kept us neat
We had food on the table and shoes on our feet

We picked cotton and gathered the corn
We were taught to work from time we were born
Mom and dad and all us children worked in the summer's heat
To keep food on the table and shoes on our feet

When you sit down at the table and thanked God in prayer
If you've got plenty to eat and plenty to wear
If you've got patches on your britches just be sure to keep'em neat
If you're got food on the table and shoes on your feet

You go out on the town
Feelin' alright
Leavin' me here alone
You're stayin' all night
You're good to me, do something sweet
Tonight you're back out on the street
Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me

You're good to me, do something sweet
Tonight you're back out on the street
Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me

I don't blame you for havin' fun
As long as I'm your only one

So go on out, have a time
Have a good time
Don't forget, if he asks
You're still mine
You're tellin' me the same old lies
And I don't need your alibis
Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me

Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me
Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me

I've been goin' around in a whirlwind not knowing which way to go
I've been lost in a jungle of heartaches looking for what I don't know
I've spread my wings and I've done some things that I never meant to do
It's took me some time but I've made up my mind I'm hanging up my travelin shoes

Hangin' up my travelin' shoes
My runnin' around is all through
I'm foldin' my wings up for you
I'm hangin' up my travelin' shoes

I've been riding a sea of uncertainty running away fom is all
I've listened to nothing that life had to tell me watched all my dreams rise and fall
I've made my mistakes but it's not too late to pull myself out of the blues
It's took me some time but I've made up my mind I'm hanging up my travelin shoes

Hangin' up my travelin' shoes
My runnin' around is all through
I'm foldin' my wings up for you
I'm hangin' up my travelin' shoes
Hangin' up travelin' shoes

The walls of my mind
Are closin' in
Can't get away
Your mem'ry won't end

Can't forget about you
Can't forget about you
Can't forget about you
Can't forget about you
Breakin' my mind in three quarter time makin' me blue
Can't forget about you
Can't forget about you
I never stop hearin' the music after the song is through

I still see your eyes
Your warm gentle smile
It was all worthwhile
Each moment we knew

Can't forget about you
Can't forget about you
Can't forget about you
Can't forget about you
Breakin' my mind in three quarter time makin' me blue
Can't forget about you
Can't forget about you
I never stop hearin' the music after the song is through

Can't forget about you
Can't forget about you
Breakin' my mind in three quarter time makin' me blue
Can't forget about you
Can't forget about you
I never stop hearin' the music after the song is through

Can't forget about you
Breakin' my mind in three quarter time makin' me blue

Somewhere in the mountains in Northern Alabama
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee
Somewhere in a motel out of Oklahoma
There's the Alabama dreamer
That same man from Tennessee

Sometimes late at night the lonely wakes her gently
And knocks at her door but she won't give in
But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted
She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again

Carolina dreamin' lonely
Carolina can't you see
You will always be the lady
That I dream of holding tight
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Carolina Mountain dewe

Sometimes that next day on a Mississippi freeway
The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound
His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina
And she's waiting with the baby from the love of the only man to lay her down

Carolina dreaming lonely
Carolina can't you see
You will always be the lady
That I dream of holding tight
That I kiss and tell goodbye
Carolina mountain dewe
Carolina I love you
