I used to be a drifter
My trusty old transistor
Would play hot country music all day long
Then steamy nights would follow
I’d shelter in a hollow
Beneath the stars, I’d sing my favourite song
Back home in Alabama
Where the Heart of Dixie beats for me
Back home in Alabama
That’s the only place I wanna be
I’ve travelled East to Georgia
And West to Mississippi
I’ve even made it North to Tennessee
I’ve seen some crowded places
And big wide open spaces
But nothing quite like my Alabama
Back home in Alabama
Where the Heart of Dixie beats for me
Back home in Alabama
That’s the only place I wanna be
Alabama
Where the Heart of Dixie beats for me
Back home in Alabama
That’s the only place I wanna be
The Yellowhammer’s waiting
He’ll soon be celebrating
To know that I’ll be hanging up my boots
‘Cause now I’m done with roaming
My thoughts are set on homing
I’m finally returning to my roots
Back home in Alabama
Where the Heart of Dixie beats for me
Back home in Alabama
That’s the only place I wanna be
Alabama
Where the Heart of Dixie beats for me
Back home in Alabama
That’s the only place I wanna be
