Alabama My Home's In Alabama Lyrics
1.My Home's In Alabama

Lyrics:Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry
Music:Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry

Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home
I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs
Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line
Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night

Had to learn about the ladies; too young to understand
why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band
When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away
to some other guitar picker in some other late night place

Yeah, I held on to my music; I let the ladies walk away
took my songs and dreams to Nashville and then on to L.A.
Up to New York City, all across the USA
I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say (that my)

Chorus:
..home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred

What keeps me goin'? I don't really know.
can't be the money the Lord knows I'm always broke
could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood
when the people really love ya and let you know when it's good

Well I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please
I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me
and someday when I make it, when love finds a way
somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll just smile with pride
and say that my

Chorus


2.Hanging Up My Travelin' Shoes

Lyrics:Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry
Music:Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry

I've been goin' around in a whirlwind not knowing which way to
go.
I've been lost in a jungle of heartaches looking for what I
don't know
I've spread my wings and I've done some things that I never
meant to do.
Its took me some time but I've made up my mind, I'm hanging up
my travelin shoes.

Chorus:
Hangin' up my travelin shoes.
My runnin' around is all through.
I'm foldin' my wings up for you.
I'm hangin' up my travelin' shoes.

I've been ridin' a sea of uncertainty, runnin' away fom is all.
I've listened to nothing that life had to tell me, watched all
my dreams rise
and fall.
I've made my mistakes, but it's not too late to pull myself out
of the blues.
Its took me some time but I've made up my mind, I'm hanging up
my travelin shoes.

Chorus

Hangin' up travelin' shows.


3.Why Lady Why

Written:Teddy Gentry/Richard Scott

Why, lady, why, can't I leave you alone?
I try, lady, try, but the feeling's too strong.
You stay on my mind. Feel just like a fool.
Why, lady, why, can't I get over you?

Why, lady, why? It was easy before.
I try, lady, try, but it ain't easy no more.
To be on my way would be the best thing to do.
Why, lady, why, can't I get over you?

Why, lady, why, can't I leave you alone?
I try, lady, try, but the feeling's too strong.
To be on my way would be the best thing to do.
Why, lady, why, can't I get over you?


4.Some Other Place, Some Other Time

Lyrics:Jeff Cook
Music:Jeff Cook

I remember walking through flowers in a garden of a mem'ry I'm
thinkin' of.
I remember being in heaven, some other place, someother time,
some other love.

I remember walking on silver sand with a mid summer moon shining
above.
And I remember the taste of her sweet lips, some other place,
some other
time, some other love.

I remember holding her close to me.
And I can picture the nights we shared alone.
When I'm dreaming, it all seems so real to me.
Then I wake up and find it's all done.

Tomorrow I may be holding another girl, but tonight she's not
the one I'm thinkin' of.
Could it be my life would just be a mem'ry of some other place,
some other
time, some other love; of some other place, some other time,
some other love;
of some other place, some other time, some other love?


5.Can't Froget About You

Lyrics:Teddy Gentry
Music:Teddy Gentry

The walls of my mind are closin' in.
Can't get away.
Your mem'ry won't end.

Chorus:
Can't forget about you. Can't forget about you.
Can't forget about you. Can't forget about you.
Breakin' my mind in threee quarter time makin' me blue.
Can't forget about you. Can't forget about you.
I never stop hearin' the music after the song is through.

I still see your eyes, your warm, gentle smile.
It was all worthwhile, each moment we knew.

Chorus


6.Get It While It's Hot

Written:Randy Owen/Jeff Cook/Richard Scott

I got something cookin' and I'm boilin' way down deep.
While I'm hot and bothered why don't you give me what I need.
Your kind of lovin' really hits the spot.
The things you're doin', baby, make me want what you got.

So get it, get it, get it while it's hot, get it while it's hot.

Well, standin' here beside you, I can really feel the heat.
I feel your body tremblin; from your head down to your feet.
I know my mind is in it, but my body's almost shot.
If you want my lovin', babe, better get it while it's hot.

So get it, get it, get it while it's hot, get it while it's hot.

Get it, get it, get it while it's hot.
Get it, get it, get it while it's hot.
Get it, get it, get it while it's hot.


7.Keep on Dreamin'

Lyrics:Jeff Cook/Richard Scott
Music:Jeff Cook/Richard Scott

I am so happy with you in my arms.
Honey, don't you ever leave.
Lay back and love me and tellme you're mine.
Keep on dreamin' with me.

Your hair is so soft and your eyes are so brown.
Your body's warm here next to me.
You be my woman and I'll be your man, and your love is all I'll
ever need.

It took so long for me to find you.
I've been lonely for so long. Lonely.
You came into me life to love me.
Now my loneliness is gone.

You can't improve on perfection.
And you are perfect for me.
Cast your love in my direction,
and I know that you will see.

I am so happy with you in my arms.
Honey, don't you ever leave.
Lay back and love and tell me you're mine.
Keep on dreamin' with me

Lay back and love me and tell me you're mine.
Keep on dreamin' with me.

Lay back and love me and tell me you're mine.
Keep on dreamin' with me.


8.Getting Over You

Lyrics:Cary Lynn Rutledge
Music:Cary Lynn Rutledge

Wish I had just one more chance to hold you close and say I love
you.
Can't believe out romance was just beginning. Now its Through.
I'm looking for tomorrow to start a newlife on my own.
And all I see is sorrow. You're all I lived for. Now you're
gone.

I can't seem to get you off my mind no matter what I do.
I'm trying to wipe you from my eyes, but the tears keep fallin'
through.
The hardest thing that love has put me through is gettin' over
you, gettin'
over you, over you, over you.


9.Tennessee River

Lyrics:Randy Owen
Music:Randy Owen

I was born across the river in the mountains where I call home.
Lord, times were good there. Don't know why I ever roamed.

Chorus:
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man, we get together anytime
we can.
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man, we play together in
Mother Nature's
band.

Me and my woman's done made our plans on the Tennessee River,
walkin' hand in
hand.
Gonna raise a family, Lord settle down where peace and love can
still be
found.

Chorus

Oh, Tennessee River.

Chorus

Oh, Tennessee River.


10.Is That What Time It Is

Written:Richard Berardi/Michael Berardi

Is that what time it is?
I'm sorry if I woke you with this call.
But all this wine is in my head, and I'm so lonely from it all.
Don't hang up.
Baby, hear what I gotta say.
We started out such a beautiful story.
We just can't end this way.

Chorus:
I wanna come over, I wanna love you tonight.
I don't care about the time or who's wrong or who's right.
Just say it's OK, and I'll be on my way.
I wanna come over. Could you get outta bed?
I'll try to unsay all the things I've said.
Please say its OK, and I'll be on my way.

Is that what time it is?
I'm sorry if I'm keeping you from your sleep.
But all thse feelings are running through me.
You know I never knew they ran so deep.
What's that you're sayin'?
That just before I phoned,
you were gettin' ready to give me call,
'cause you were feelin' so alone.

Chorus

I wanna come over.
I wanna come over.
