         C                         Fadd9                            C
I said, “Mama don’t you worry, I’m getting by just fine out on the road.

        Dm                                 Fadd9             G
Yeah, tonight we played in Knoxville and tomorrow night its back to Music

C
Row.

      C                                 Fadd9                        C
No, I don’t know when I’m coming home, Montgomery seems so very far away”.

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

                C
lights on that stage.

                          Fadd9 G                             C
‘Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can’t find in Tennessee.

                            Dm                           G
The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to dream.

                               Fadd9    G                              C
I know there’s big names up in Nashville. And you’ll be one before too long.

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

       C                                 Fadd9                     C
I hung up the phone and I could feel the emptiness at 80 miles an hour.

      Dm                                G
And I listened close and I could hear my heart beating louder than the

C
tires.

         C                          Fadd9
This old bus was headed west but my mind was drifting somewhere towards the

C
south.

      Dm                                 Fadd9                 G
And I closed my eyes and I could see the bright lights shining clearly

             C
through the clouds.

                         Fadd9  G                             C

                         Dm                                 C

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

C
home.
