I said momma don't you worry,
I'm gettin by just fine out on the road
Yeah tonight we played in Knoxville,
tomorrow night it's back to music row.
No I don't know when I'm coming home,
Montgomery seems so very far away,
She said boy it wouldn't kill you to look out
Past the bright lights on your stage.
CHORUS
'Cause God put stara in Alabama,
you just can't find in Tennesee,
same ones are waitin on you
that taught you how to dream
She said there's big names up in Nashville
and you'll be one before too long
God put stars in Alabama to help
you find your way back home
I hung up the phone and I could feel
The emptiness at eighty miles an hour
And I listened close and I could feel
my heart beating louder than the tires
This old bus was heading west
but my mind was drifting somewhere
toward the south and I closed my eyes and I could see
the bright lights shining clearly through the clouds
CHORUS
'Cause God put stara in Alabama,
you just can't find in Tennesee,
same ones are waitin on you
that taught you how to dream
She said there's big names up in Nashville
and you'll be one before too long
God put stars in Alabama to help
you find your way back home
Yeah theirs stars in Alabama
I just can't wait till you get home
