My Home's In Alabama Lyrics - Singles - Jamey Johnson

Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home 

I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs 

Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line 

Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night 

Had to learn about the ladies, too young to understand 

Why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band 

When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away 

To some other guitar picker in some other late night place 

Yeah, held on to my music, I let the ladies walk away 

Took my songs and dreams to Nashville then I moved on to L.A. 

Up to New York City all across the USA 

I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say that my 

Home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head 

My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred

What keeps me goin' I don't really know 

Can't be the money Lord knows I'm always broke 

Could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood 

When the people really love ya and let you know when it's good 

Oh I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please 

I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me 

And someday when I make it, when luck finds a way 

Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll just smile with pride and say that my 

Home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head 

My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred 

Southern born and Southern bred 

Southern born and Southern bred 

And my home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head 

My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred 

Southern born and Southern bred 

Southern born and Southern bred
