Alabama is a country music and southern rock band from Fort Payne, Alabama, United States. The band was founded in 1969 by Randy Owen (lead vocals, Rhythm Guitar) and his cousin Teddy Gentry (bass guitar, background vocals), soon joined by Jeff Cook (Lead Guitar, fiddle, keyboards).

He raced that engine down the track
'Round the tree on Christmas day
I was so amazed Dad could play with trains
I saw a sparkle in his eye
Then I heard him say
I was young once too, I was young once too

He washed that Buick faithfully
Lord, he kept her clean
I thought that machine 
Meant more to him than me
On the day I turned sixteen
He threw me the keys
Said I was young once too, I was young once too

He was such a young man then
I'm older than that now
I hope I measure up to him
When the circle comes around

I caught him in the attic
Cross legged on the floor
With some old photographs
He pointed and he laughed
He said that's me in that picture
I said, "No son, that's your dad"
I was young once too, I was young once too
I was young once too, I was young once too
