Jamey Johnson Stars In Alabama Lyrics

Stars In Alabama Lyrics

(Instrumental Intro)



I said, “Mama don’t you worry, I’m getting by
just fine out on the road.

Yeah, tonight we played in Knoxville and
tomorrow night its 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 none to look out past the bright lights on that stage.



(Chorus)

‘Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can’t find in
Tennessee.

The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to
dream.

I know there’s big names up in Nashville. And you’ll be one before
too long.

But 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 80
miles an hour.

And I listened close and I could hear my heart beating
louder than the tires.

This old bus was headed west but my mind was
drifting somewhere towards the south.

And I closed my eyes and I could
see the bright lights shining clearly through the clouds.



(Chorus)

‘Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can’t find in
Tennessee.

The same ones are waiting 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.

But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way
back home."



Yeah, there’s stars in Alabama. (Pause) That just
can’t wait ‘til you get home.



(Instrumental Finish)
