Alabama State Of Mind Lyrics - Moonlighter - Claire Lynch

THERE'S A LASTING IMPRESSION 

FOREVER IN MY MIND 

A MENTAL PICTURE OF A PLACE THAT I CALL HOME 

AND WHENEVER THIS BIG CITY STARTS TO MOVE TOO FAST 

I CAN KICK OFF THESE SHOES AND FLIP IT ON. 

I SEE A WHITE FARM HOUSE AND A FLATBED TRUCK 

AND AN OLD FARM FILLED WITH WINTER HAY 

AND A BARGE OUT IN THE CHANNEL TAKES ITS OWN SWEET TIME 

BY TONIGHT HE'LL BE A HUNDRED MILES AWAY 

AND I CAN ROLL ACROSS THE RIVER 

WADE ON UP THE CREEK 

WALK ON DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD JUST KILLN' 

TIME 

NO MATTER WHERE I AM, I'LL ALWAYS BE 

IN AN ALABAMA STATE OF MIND 

WELL I CAN STILL SMELL THE DIRT OF A NEW-PLOWED FIELD 

OR WATCH THE SUN SET ON THE RIVER 'TIL IT'S GONE 

AND ALL GOD'S CREATURES COME ALIVE ON A MOONLIT NIGHT 

AND MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE ALL OF THEIR OWN 

AND ON A LAID-BACK SUMMER SUNDAY AFTER CHURCH 

KINFOLK COME AROUND AND VISIT FOR AWHILE 

AND I CAN ALMOST TASTE WHAT'S ON MY PLATE 

SUNDAY DINNER COOKED UP SOUTHERN STYLE 

AND I CAN ROLL ACROSS THE RIVER 

WADE ON UP THE CREEK 

WALK ON DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD JUST KILLN' 

TIME 

NO MATTER WHERE I GO I'LL ALWAYS BE 

IN AN ALABAMA STATE OF MIND 

IF YOU CATCH ME IN A DAYDREAM YOU WILL 

ALWAYS BE 

IN AN ALABAMA STATE OF MIND.
