Hills Of Alabam' Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

(Claire Lynch/Mark Fair) 

Tomorrow brings another town 

We'll be on our way 

We'll hit the road and have a song 

Then there'll be nothing to say 

For hours on end 

And, God, won't you send me away 

To the hills of Alabam' 

I've been a long way 

And I've longer yet to go 

And if you can't take me home 

Hear this weary travelers plea 

Bring only songs of love to me 

The nighttime finds another place 

With the same sad smile 

And the highway shows her lonely face 

There's just too many miles 

Too many hours to spend 

And, God, won't you send me away 

To the hills of Alabam' 

I've been a long way 

And I've longer yet to go 

And if you can't take me home 

Hear this weary travelers plea 

Bring only songs of love to me
