Alabama
it'd been too long since I'd been home
alabama
she knows when I'm feeling alone
alabama
she called me and I came
alabama
but now she don't look the same

chorus:
they put a lightbulb in your face
US timbre leaves no trace
just a subdivided space
and all the people i have missed
put a chain link around their wrists
and you're losing a losing race

alabama
they pulled the rope-swing from your yard
alabama
she takes losing so hard
alabama
and now your eyes are full of smoke
alabama
i believe my heart is broke

chorus

everyone has said goodbye
and i'm so lonesome i could cry

Alabama
We all fiddled while your bridges burned
Alabama
look, the leaves are beginning to turn

chorus
