Well I moved into this room if you could call it that a week ago |
|
I never do what I'm supposed to do. Hardly even know my name anymore |
|
When No one calls it out it kind of vanishes away |
|
I can't get to sleep at night, the parking lot's so loud and bright. |
|
The AC hasn't worked in 20 years, probably never made a single person cold |
|
I can't say the same for me. I've done it many times |
|
Somebody take me home, through those Alabama pines |
|
You can't drive through Talladega on a weekend in October |
|
Just head up north to Jacksonville. Cut around, and oh, boy watch your speed in Boiling Springs, |
|
They ain't got a thing to do, they'll get you every time |
|
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines |
|
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines |
|
If you pass through on a Sunday, better make a stop at Wayne's |
|
It's the only open liquor store north, I can't stand the pain |
|
of being by myself, without a little help, on a Sunday afternoon. |
|
And I needed that damn woman like a dream needs gasoline |
|
And I'm trying to be some ancient kind of man, one that's never seen the beauty in the world |
|
But I tried to chase it down, tried to make the whole thing mine |
|
Somebody take me home, through those Alabama pines |
|
Somebody take me home, through those Alabama pines |
|
I've been stuck here in this town, if you could call it that, a year or two |
|
I never do what I'm supposed to do. I don't even need a name anymore, |
|
No one calls it out, kind of vanishes away |
|
No one gives a damn about the things I give a damn about |
|
The liberties that we can't do without seem to disappear like ghost in the air |
|
We don't even care, Until it vanishes away. |
