Tar Top Lyrics - Alabama

It was July hot 'cross Georgia 

On my way to Myrtle Beach 

I just got my diploma 

So I set out in search of me 

The honeymoon was over 

And Alabama was far away 

From being little more 

Than just a southern state 

I got a gig down at the Bowery 

I played for tips and watered drinks 

Just a novice in a business 

That's seldom what it seems 

And where are you goin' Tar Top 

Where's J. C. And The Chosen Few 

I saw the Flash without T. Gentry 

And B. V. left for Malibu

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I was July hot and thirty 

Some years down the line 

When the Boys touched the nation 

Unaware at the time 

I got to go to Texas 

Tennessee and New York, too 

A farm boy who is thankful 

To be standin' in his shoes 

But in the Bowery hangs the memories 

Of dreams that still come true 

Every time I see the spotlights 

I'm one of the chosen few 

And where are you going Tar Top 

Where's J. C. and the Chosen Few 

There's no Flash without T. Gentry 

And B. V. where are you?

Where are you goin' Tar Top? 

Which direction will you take? 

What's this contrabanded clamor 

About the music that you make? 

And where are you goin' Tar Top 

Is it country enough 

Is it contemporary glamour 

No it's us, just us 

One more time for Knoxville, Tennessee
