Lyrics:
played
Waitin' for the Alabama sun to go down
Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town
Me and Lillian
Just across the line
And a little southeast
feel so ashamed that I made her the image of me
I met her in a little country town she was simple and old fashion in some way
But she loved me till I
arbors troubled souls found peaceful harbors
Brush arbors by the side of the road
Many times I have departed from the way of life I started
In an arbor by
daughter
Born by the water
Surf's up, sun's down
Life in a beach town
And some of the things I've seen
Maybe she won't have to see
But there's a lot
The perfume that she wore was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on long after she'd gone
I remember it well
Felt your loving glow for all my life
Never stood me up, never let me down
You were always there for me
Always pushed me to my goals
My little big town
the life for...
You little maggot
Have you never seen the moon
Gliding 'cross the western sky
A dead oak tree by the waterside
Putrid vapors rising
That
times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this old town can afford.
Well, a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A little
Have mercy, I'm in a world of trouble now
I'm being held by the State Patrol
I am charged with traffic of the forbidden
And I almost finished doing
Doing with your life
What are you doing with your life?
Don't be no empty tin can to be kicked around
By anyone in any place or in any town
Your
to blame
And I feel so ashamed
That I made her the image of me.
Yes, I met her in a little country town
She was simple and old-fashioned in some ways
On a windin' dirt back road
In the hills of Arkansas
In a little country farmhouse
With his mama and his pa
Lived a plain old plough boy
By
The sun brings up another day
Near the little fishin' town
The nets are hung out in the wind
The sails are down
A seagull flies above my head
sing every single song we know
Even the ones we don't
When she moves a little closer
She puts her hand in mine
Oh what I wouldn't give to stop
Waitin for the Alabama sun to go down
Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town
Me and Lillian
Just across the line and a little southeast of Meridian.
She
city, town and country lane
you hear him sing his plaintive little strain)
And as he goes by to you he'll say
(Big jumbos) big jumbo ones
(Come buy
get mugged if you go downtown
I live back in the woods, you see
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun and a rifle and a four
It's a big job gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
But I've been workin' man, dang near all my life but I'll keep workin'
Long as my two hands are
Waitin for the Alabama sun to go down
Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town
Me and Lillian
Just across the line and a little southeast of Meridian.
She
making their funny little sounds
Guarding the ground and rooting all around
Watch your dry bones in the prairie dog town
Went to a party at the Prairie
that shrimp fired rice,
He drop the price by the pound in China Town
Black shades, Johnny Cage, diamonds go parade
Motorola in the kitchen, whippin'
For you
Headlight
High life
Can't sleep
Good night
Up tight
Big fight
Big deal
Too right, too right
Big town
Don't drown
Jump back
Turn
Beat-up little seagull on a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean, lookin' everywhere
Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't nowhere
The perfume that she wore was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on long after she'd gone
I remember it well
