Lyrics:
Well I quit my job down at the car wash
Left my mother a goodbye note
By sundown I left Kingston with my guitar under my coat
Hitchhiked all
a faillin' hearts stopped at willin' feet
And mama gave up the breath of life in the town of Nashville
Daddy was in the county jail so my older sister Nell
my hand and four by fours kicking' up the sand
Rednecks, hippies, hillbillies and hicks
We're all hanging out here in the sticks
In Alabama the lower
Wátina. Sítina. Dimuretina tuma lugunena mua
Máhati ayudante lanügünina
Walking alone by the roadside
Covered in dust
Cars speeding by
Nobody
as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by
Walkin' home from church on Sunday with the one ya' love
want to be
I can reach another star if you stand by me
I can hold it in my hand, feel it's energy
I can face another day if you stand by me
Oh,
Sitting on the curb with your face in your hands again
Shame covered up by the smell of Malboro Reds
You said that last time, it'd be the last time
three, move it, whoo
Off beat, uh, yeah, watch my feet, yeah, whoo
I'm bout to just go lose it, uh
Like somebody slippin' x in my juices, uh
And now I'm
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back
And tempt the hand of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you
I washed my hands of us at the club
You made a mess of me
I pictured you with other girls in love
Then threw up on the street
Like waiting for
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back
And tempt the hand of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you
of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white
beach baby
Give me your hand
Give me somethin' that I can remember
Just like before
We could walk by the shore
In the moonlight
Beach baby, beach
These are my people
This is a land where my forefathers lie
These are my people
In brotherhood, we're heirs of a creed to live by
A creed that
you know
I got tangled
In the star spangled banner
In the middle of Alabama
Or was it Tennesee or Arkansas
New York & Cali got the same
Amount of race
In Birmingham I fell in love
In Birmingham I learned love's not enough
My eagle eye is growing tired
And my tongue's growing tired of lying
I want
ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what
To everyone in all the world,
I reach my hand I shake their hand.
To everyone in all the world,
I shake my hand like this.
All all together,

They let me go
They let me go from Mount Meigs, Alabama
In 1964
But with
Way back in Alabama where the dirt roads cut through the woods
And when it rains you can smell the steam off the grass
Even dew on the hood of my
hand's in my hand I won't be blue
Way up on the mountain a way down in the valley
I know I'll be happy anyplace anywhere I don't care
In the misty
As long as we're together
As long as we're a pair
Here we stand, hand in hand
Thinking of our love
By my side, now you are my bride
All our dreams have
beethoven, I gotta hear it again today
You know my temperature's risin
And the jukebox blowin a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps singin'
