[Verse 1]
         G                         Cadd9                            G
I said, “Mama don’t you worry, I’m getting by just fine out on the road.

        Am                                 Cadd9             D
Yeah, tonight we played in Knoxville and tomorrow night its back to Music

G
Row.

      G                                 Cadd9                        G
No, I don’t know when I’m coming home, Montgomery seems so very far away”.

           Am                                D
She said, “Boy, it wouldn’t kill you none to look out past the bright

                G
lights on that stage.
[Chorus]
                          Cadd9 D                             G
‘Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can’t find in Tennessee.

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

                               Cadd9    D                              G
I know there’s big names up in Nashville. And you’ll be one before too long.

                         Am  D                               G
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home.”
[Verse 2]
       G                                 Cadd9                     G
I hung up the phone and I could feel the emptiness at 80 miles an hour.

      Am                                D
And I listened close and I could hear my heart beating louder than the

G
tires.

         G                          Cadd9
This old bus was headed west but my mind was drifting somewhere towards the

G
south.

      Am                                 Cadd9                 D
And I closed my eyes and I could see the bright lights shining clearly

             G
through the clouds.
[Chorus]
                         Cadd9  D                             G
‘Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can’t find in Tennessee.

                            Am                           D

                               Cadd9    D                              G

                         Am                                 G
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home.”

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

G
home.
