Alabama Super Hits 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

2.Feel So Right


3.Love in the First Degree

Lyrics:Jim Hurt/Tim Dubois
Music:Jim Hurt/Tim Dubois

I once thopught of love as a prison a place I didn't want to be.
So long ago I made a decision to be footloose and fancy free.
But you cam I was so tempted to gamble on love just one time.
I never thought I would get caught.
It seemed liek the perfect crime.

Chorus:
Baby, you left me defneseless.
I've only got one plea.
Lock me away inside of your love and throw away the key.
I'm guilty of love in the first degree.

I thought it would be so simple, like a thousand times before.
I'd take what I wanted and just walk away, but I never made it
to the door.
Now babe, I'm not beggin' for mercy.
Go ahead and throw the book at me.
If lovin' you's a crime, I know that I'm as guilty as a man can
be.

Chorus

Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

Chorus

Oh yeah. Love in the first degree.
Love in the first degree.
Love in the first degree.


4.Dixieland Delight

Lyrics:Ronnie Rogers
Music:Ronnie Rogers

Rollin' down a backwoods Tennessee byway, one arm on the wheel,
holdin' my
lover with the other:a sweet, soft, Southern thrill.
Worked hard all week; got a little jingle on a Tennessee
Saturday night.
Couldn't feel better: I'm together with my Dixieland Delight.

Chorus:
Spend my dollar; parked in a holler 'neath the mountain
moonlight; hold her
uptight; make a little lovin', a little turtle dovin' on a Mason
Dixon night.
Fits my life, oh, so right: My Dixieland Delight.

Whitetail buck deer munchin' on clover, redtail hawk settin' on
a limb, a
chubby old groundhog, croakin' bullfrog, free as the feelin' in
the wind.
Home grown country girl gonna give me a whirl on a Tennessee
Saturday night.
Lucky as a seven livin' in heaven with my Dixieland Delight.

Chorus

Repeat first verse


5.Rool On Eighteen Wheeler


6.There's No Way

Lyrics:Palas/Robinson/Jarrard
Music:Palas/Robinson/Jarrard

As I lay by your side and hold you tonight
I want you to understand this love that that I feel
Is so right and so real I realize how lucky I am
And to you ever wonder if my love is true
There is something that I want to make clear with you

There's no way I could make it without you
There's no way that I'd even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn't last a day, oh Baby, there's no way

It means so much to me whenever I see that 'wanting me' look in
your eyes
I don't know how I could do without holding you close every
night
I've waited so long just to have you to hold
Now that I've got you, I'll never let go

There's no way I could make it without you
There's no way that I 'd even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn't last a day, oh Baby, there's no way

I never knew what to do, what I was missin'
Now you say forever, I find my heart is listenin', yes, I'm
listenin'

There's no way I could make it without you
There's no way that I 'd even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn't last a day, oh Baby, there's no way


7.The Closer You Get

Written:James P.Pennington/Mark Gray

Chorus:
The closer you get, the further I fall.
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all.
I'm falling faster and faster and faster with no time to stall.
The closer you get, the further I fall.

The things that you say to me, the look on your face, brings out
the man in
me.
Do I see a trace in your eyes of love?

Chorus

Could I be dreamin'?
Is this really real?
'Cause there's something magic the way that I feel in your arms
tonight.

Chorus

Keep fallin', oh, yeah, yeah, keep fallin', mm, fallin', oh,
yeah, yeah, I'm
fallin'.

Yes, I'm fallin'. Yes, I'm fallin'. Yes, I'm fallin'.
Yes, I'm fallin'. Yes, I'm fallin'. Yes, I'm fallin'.
Yes, I'm fallin'. Yes, I'm fallin'. Yes, I'm fallin'.

Chorus


8.Forever's As Far As I'll Go

Lyrics:Mike Reid
Music:Mike Reid

I'll admit I could feel it
The first time that we touched
And the look in your eyes
Said you felt as much

But I'm not a man
Who falls too easily
It's best that you know
Where you stand with me

Chorus:
I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
'Cause I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go

When there's age around my eyes
And gray in your hair
And it only takes a touch
To recall the love we've shared

I won't take for granted
You'll know my love is true
'Cause each night in your arms
I'll whisper to you

Repeat chorus

Tag
Forever's as far as I'll go


9.Give Me One More Shot


10.In Pictures

I've got her photograph on a stand by my bed
two on the mantle and thousands in my head
I can't believe how fast she's growing
it ain't supposed to be like this
everytime I look at her I see how much I've missed

I missed her first steps her first words and 'I love you Daddy'
Is something I've seldom heard
oh it hurts me so to watch my girl grow up in pictures

I send the money down do my best to do my part
but it can't compare with what I've paid with my heart
there's still one unanswered question that weighs heavy on my
mind
will she ever understand the reasons why

I missed her first steps and her first words and 'I love you
Daddy'
Is something I've seldom heard
oh it hurts me so to watch my girl grow up in pictures

It takes all I have to keep the tears inside
and what I wouldn't give if I could turn back time

I missed her first steps her first words and 'I love you Daddy'
is something I've seldom heard
oh it hurts me so to watch my baby grow up in pictures
