lyrics

I'm somewhere on that Jefferson Davis Parkway
Ten miles out of Jackson I believe
All these restless nights turn into dark days
With all these aces falling out of my sleeves
And I've never been so lonesome, I must say
Let the wheels turn around
Let the potter throw the clay

Cause I'm standing in the rain down here in Alabama
Watching all the trains down here in Alabama
It's got me all turned upside down
Inside out, round and round
And peace is nowhere to be found
Down in Alabama

When I was standing in that empty house in Mobile
I swore I'd never pass this way again
So I sat down on the floor
And drank till I could not feel, anymore
The shapes and shadows move beneath my skin
And I'm running for the overpass
Before the lightning starts again
Everything smells like ozone
Everywhere I've ever been

And I'm running in the rain down here in Alabama
Hanging from a chain down here in Alabama
It's got me all turned upside down
Inside out and round and round
And they'll put me in the ground
Oh down
Down in Alabama
Six feet down in Alabama
Heart of dixie
Could not fix me
Will you miss me
Alabama?
Will you miss me
Alabama?
