Dolly Parton Alabama Sundown

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
The cold December wind seems bent on rocking New York City
The town that’s got me down to my last dime
And everywhere I go, the people seem in such a hurry
To keep this Mobile girl from feeling fine

[Chorus]
Lord, what I’d give to see an Alabama sundown
The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
But that never was the Mobile way, no, no
That never was the Mobile way

[Verse 2]
A flashing sign says that you can rent a bed for just a dollar
In anybody’s town, that price is cheap
It’s a shame to know a girl would ever fall down to my standards
Cause I need ninety cents to go to sleep

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I felt so big the day I left that Mobile couldn’t hold me
I thought there had to be a better way
But if I could find that man that first called Lady Luck a lady
That gentleman would surely learn to pray

[Chorus 2x]
