Lyrics Alabama - I Ain't Got No Business Doin'

Lyrics Alabama - I Ain't Got No Business Doin'

I'm gonna call up my boss and tell him I'm ill
Gonna tell him I'm home, with the fever and chills
I don't usually lie but for your sweet love I will, I need it so

We won't be disturbed, the phone's off the hook
And when it comes to lovin' woman, you wrote the book
And I just saw that 'I want you' look and that's all it took, well I

Ain't got no business doin' business today
My little woman wants to stay home and play
Right in her arms is where I will stay
'Cause I ain't got no business doin' business today

Well, the boys at the plant are punching the clock
If they could see us darlin', oh, what a shock
They'd do the same if they had what I got
So please don't stop, well I

Ain't got no business doin' business today
My little woman wants to stay home and play
Right in her arms is where I will stay
'Cause I ain't got no business doin' business today

Ain't got no business doin' business today
My little woman wants to stay home and play
Right in her arms is where I will stay
'Cause I ain't got no business doin' business today

Lyrics Alabama - Then Again

Lyrics Alabama - Then Again

We could walk away now
Call it over and done
Say we fought the good fight
And nobody won

Say we're both better off
That worse came to worst
So we didn't last
Hey, we're not the first

But then again
If we give it one more try
We might find the feeling
Never really died
And there's still a chance to be
All we might have been
And find the love we had back then again

Off to such a good start
But somehow it seems
We've let our hearts
Fall apart at the dreams

We could throw in the towel
Walk away with our pride
Say it just wasn't worth
All the tears that we cried

But then again
If we give it one more try
We might find the feeling
Never really died
And there's still a chance to be
All we might have been
Let's find the love we had back then again

Baby, if we want it bad enough
We can make it better than it ever was

And there's still a chance to be
All we might have been
Let's find the love we had back then again

Lyrics Alabama - High Cotton

Lyrics Alabama - High Cotton

We didn't know the times were lean,
Round our house the grass was green,
It didn't seem like things were all that bad,

I bet we walked a thousand miles,
Choppin' cotton and pusing plows,
And learnin' how to give it all we had.

As Life went on and years went by,
I saw the light in daddy's eye,
And felt the love in mamma's hands,
They kept us warm and kept us fed,
Taught us how to look ahead,
Now lookin' back I understand.

We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

When Sunday mornings rolled around,
We dressed up hand-me-downs,
Just in time to gather with the church,
Some times I think how long It's been,
And how it impressed me then,
It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work.

We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

Walkin' in High Cotton

Lyrics Alabama - Hangin' Round The Mistletoe

Lyrics Alabama - Hangin' Round The Mistletoe

Snowy days and frosty night, everything looks cold and white
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, hangin' 'round the mistletoe

Christmas day will soon be here, and everybody's full of cheer
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, waitin' for you dear

Well, I've waited all year long and nore the year is almost gone
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, hangin' 'round the mistletoe

But if that's what I've gotta do just to get a kiss from you
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, waitin' for you dear

Christmas is a special time to give and to receive
For every little kiss you give me I will give you three

You ain't gonna miss one kiss, that's one thing you'll never miss
I'm hangin' 'round the mistletoe waitin' for you dear

Well, I've had my eyes on you for a long, long time
So, I'm asking Santa please, make that pretty girl mine

Waited till I'm cold and blue just to get a kiss from you
I'm hangin' 'round the mistletoe, waitin' for you dear

Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, waitin' for you dear

Lyrics Alabama - Dixieland Delight

Lyrics Alabama - Dixieland Delight

Rolling down a backwoods Tennessee bighway
One arm on the wheel
Holding 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

Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight
Holdin' her up tight
Make a little lovin'
A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night
It's my life
Oh so right
My dixieland delight

Whitetail buck deer munchin' on clover
Red-tailed hawk sitting on a limb
Chubby ol' groundhog
Croakin' bullfrog
Free as a feeling 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

Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight
Holdin' her up tight
Make a little lovin'
A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night
It's my life
Oh so right
My dixieland delight

Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight
Holdin' her up tight
Make a little lovin'
A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night
It's my life
Oh so right
My dixieland delight

Rolling down a backwoods Tennessee bighway
One arm on the wheel

Lyrics Alabama - Lady Down On Love

Lyrics Alabama - Lady Down On Love

It's her first night on the town since she was just eighteen
A lady down on love and out of hope and dreams
The ties that once bound her now are broke away
And she's like a baby, just learning how to play

She never thought that love could ever end so soon
Her mind drifts back in time to a mid-summer moon
When he asked her to marry and she glady said O.K
And a woman came to be from the girl of yesterday

Now she's a lady down on love
She needs somebody to gently pick her up
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound
To a man who would love her and never let her down

Well, I know a lady that's down on her love
'Cause I used to hold her and have that special touch
But work took me a way from home late at nights
And I wasn't there when she turned out the lights
Then both of us got lonely and I gave into lust
And she just couldn't live with a man she couldn't trust

Now she's a lady down on love
She needs somebody to gently pick her up
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound
To man who would love her and never let her down
Now she's a lady down on love

Lyrics Alabama - If I Had You

Lyrics Alabama - If I Had You

If I Had You
Alabama
Album: For The Record

If I had you we'd run like gypsies in the wind
We'd be lovers and we'd be friends, if I had you
If I had you we'd count the stars all one by one
We'd make love till they were gone oh, if I had you

'Cause you light a fire way down in my soul
The flame keeps growin' stronger
'Cause there ain't no control
And there's nothing, no there's nothing
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do, if I had you

If I had you, we'd sail the seven seas as one
We'd never say it can't be done, oh, if I had you

'Cause you light a fire way down in my soul
The flame keeps growin' stronger there ain't no control
And there's nothing, oh, there's nothing
I know there's nothing that I wouldn't do, if I had you
If I had you...

Lyrics Alabama - Green River

Lyrics Alabama - Green River

Take me back down where cool water flows, y'all
Let me remember the things I've done
Walk on the log where the catfish bite
Walking along the river road at night
Barefoot girl, dancin' in the moonlight
I can hear the bullfrog calling me, "Ribbit"
Wonderin' if my rope's still hangin' to the tree
Ole Brody Junior took me over
Said, "You're gonna find a well that's colder
If I'm a bad boss, give some O'Green river", well
Take me back down where cool water flows, y'all
Let me remember the things I've done
Walk on the log where the catfish bite
Walking along the river road at night
Barefoot girl, dancin' in the moonlight
Well

Lyrics Alabama - Goodbye

Lyrics Alabama - Goodbye

Before I fly and wave goodbye
I say to you "days with you are the best years of my life"
But if I don't see you anymore
Keep my words safely stored
And i'll be back I promise once more

Chorus:
Goodbye, goodbye
Till I see you again
Goodbye, goodbye
I'll love and i'll miss you till then

Remember me 'cause I care
Where you are and how you fare
Get in touch if the wind blows in your face
I guess it's been too much fun
We've shared and we've won
Yes the best is yet to come

Repeat chorus

That one word hurts so bad
You leave the best you've had
But you keep the faith and pray to return

Goodbye, goodbye
I'll love and i'll miss you till then
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

Lyrics Alabama - Dancin', Shaggin' On The Boulevard

Lyrics Alabama - Dancin', Shaggin' On The Boulevard

Written by randy owen, teddy gentry, and greg fowler
Well the magic attic's where the music rolls
And the army-navy's got ol' jackie soul
Down on peaches corner there are good ol' boys
And mother fletchers makin' lots of noise
They're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

Well the tams are playin' at the port-o-call
And the drifters underneath the boardwalk
At the sapnish galleon and ol' fat jacks
Jukebox playin' and the place is packed
You bet they're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
You know they're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

Got the top down and the traffic's slow
Sun fun week and, we all go
Where the girls are sunnin' and lookin' good
Well i never met 'em but i wish i could
And we'd go dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
We'd go dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

Well the embers singin' up on ocean drive
And the castaways are gettin' loud tonight
At the electric circus they all getin' down
And the carousel's spinnin' round and 'round
See them dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
I see 'em dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

Well i'm hangin out down at sloppy joes
They may doze but they never close
And the bama boys at the bowery
They can't dance but they play for free
But they like dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
They know dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
They wrote dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

Lyrics Alabama - Katy Brought My Guitar Back Today

Lyrics Alabama - Katy Brought My Guitar Back Today

Katy brought my guitar back today
I left it there to play when I'd stay over
And I remember all those nights
Sittin' in the fireplace light
How she loved to hear me play
And Katy brought my guitar back today

Katy brought my guitar back today
I've seen it make her cry over and over
She told me when I wasn't there
And she would wake up feelin' scared
She'd hold it in her arms and be okay
Katy brought my guitar back today

We had our stormy times like anybody else
Oh, more than once I broke her heart
And when I couldn't tell her I was sorry by myself
I could tell her with an old guitar
But I'm afraid this time things have gone too far

Katy brought my guitar back today
I guess that means this time it's really over
And as I sit and play it now
The songs all seem so sad somehow
I wish that I'd 've left it in the case
Katy brought my guitar back today

And I remember all those nights
Sittin' in the fireplace light
How she loved to hear me play
But Katy brought my guitar back today

Lyrics Alabama - Here We Are

Lyrics Alabama - Here We Are

Here we are, once again
Stronger now than we have ever been
Hand in hand, heart to heart
Now we made it through the hardest part
We had to break it all down to build it back up
Lean on each other when the times got rough
How we survive going through so much
Baby you and I could write a book about love
Here we are, one to one
Looking back to see how far we come
We shared it all, you and I
We're still together after all this time
We had to break it all down to build it back up
Lean on each other when the times got rough
How we survive going through so much
Baby you and I could write a book about love
Here we are, once again
We're stronger now than we have ever been
With hand in hand, with heart to heart
Here we are, here we are
Here we are
Here we are
Here we are

Lyrics Alabama - His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Lyrics Alabama - His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Why should I feel discouraged?
And why should the shadows come?
And why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven and home?

When Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

And I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I am free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

Let not your heart be troubled
His tender word I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubts and fears

Though by the path He leads us
But one step I may see
His eye is on the sparrows
And I know He watches me

And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

Lyrics Alabama - Fallin' Again

Lyrics Alabama - Fallin' Again

Thinking of the faces I've seen
Back when I was young and green
I was falling back then
Now I'm workin' on building a fire
And flirtin' with that ol' desire
And fallin' again into the wind
I fall in love again, I'm fallin' again
Well you'd think that I would learn by now
To keep from falling somehow
But I'm fallin' again
'Cause when I caught that look in your eyes
That's when I realized
I was fallin' again into the wind
I fall in love again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
I fall in love again
Fallin' again into the wind
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
I fall in love again
Fallin' again into the wind

Lyrics Alabama - Can't Keep A Good Man Down

Lyrics Alabama - Can't Keep A Good Man Down

I thought it was forever
I thought it would last
Gotta try to make it
A page of my past
You didn't even say goodbye
When you slammed that door

Now I'm lyin' here alone
In what once was our bed
Trying to forget
All the cruel words you said
All the radio was playing
What once was our favorite song

Oh enough is enough I won't take anymore
I'm picking myself up off the floor

'Cause you can't keep a good man down
You can't keep a good man down
Oh no you can't keep a good man down
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down

Gonna dress up in my finest
Clothes that I own
And take it to the streets
I won't be lonely for long
Gonna put on my best moves
On every single woman I see

Now you thought you could break me
Add me to your list
Notch me on your gun
Let me tell you this
I've got news for you baby
I don't break that easily

'Cause you can't keep a good man down
You can't keep a good man down
Oh no you can't keep a good man down
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down

I'll be out there on the scene
Hangin' with my friends
This world's gonna see
Me smilin' again
I'm taking some time
To erase you from my memory

Don't write any letters
Don't call me on the phone
Don't knock on my door
Cause to you I'm not at home
I know there's a woman out there
For a man like me

'Cause you can't keep a good man down
You can't keep a good man down
Oh no you can't keep a good man down
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down

Oh enough is enough I won't take anymore
I'm picking myself up off the floor

'Cause you can't keep a good man down
Baby, you can't keep a good man down
Honey, you can't keep a good man down
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down

Lyrics Alabama - Dixie Boy

Lyrics Alabama - Dixie Boy

I was raised in the shadows of an old cotton mill
Back when believin' was the style
Small town heaven and a big-eyed boy
Made sweet music for a while
My daddy worked hard down at the factory
Nights he went to G.I. school
He didn't know nothin' 'bout the silver spoon
But he lived by the golden rule

Summer nights he was gone me and mama stayed home
Out on the front porch swing
Wishin' on the stars in the southern sky
And sometimes we used to sing

We were leaning, leaning on
The everlasting arms of love
Livin' all those simple joys
This Dixie boy is made of

Got my real education from the T.V. station
And good ole boys down at the park
The say "Hey, Willie" and those rock-a-billies
Made their way into my heart

I remember the old folks sittin' 'round talkin'
On laidback Sunday afternoons
They said them young folks sure got a hard road
Oh, they're growin' up too soon

Now I know they were right, and as I sit here tonight
Out on the front porch swing
The stars are shinin' in my young boy's eyes
Just like they did for me

We are leaning, leaning on
The everlasting arms of love
Livin' all those simple joys
This Dixie boy is made of

We are leaning, leaning on
The everlasting arms of love
Livin' all those simple joys
This Dixie boy is made of

Lyrics Alabama - Christmas Is Love

Lyrics Alabama - Christmas Is Love

It's that time of year when the whole world is heart tot heart
You can feel love all around you, you can see it everywhere

Christmas is love, it's in the songs we're singing
Christmas is love, it's families comin' home
Christmas is love, it's on the children's faces
Christmas is love

Christmas is love, a warm and friendly feeling
Christmas is love, hear the church bells ring
Christmas is love, it's sharing in the giving
Christmas is love

We all gather 'round, watch the lights dancing on the tree
The spirit of the season, you feel it in the air

Christmas is love, it's in the songs we're singing
Christmas is love, it's families comin' home
Christmas is love, it's on the children's faces

Christmas is love, a warm and friendly feeling
Christmas is love, just hear the church bells ring
Christmas is love, it's sharing in the giving
Christmas is love, Christmas is love, Christmas is love

Lyrics Alabama - Hey Baby

Lyrics Alabama - Hey Baby

Written by Bruce Channel and Margaret Cobb

Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl

When I saw you walking down the street
I said that's the kind of girl I'd like to meet
She's so pretty, Lord she's fine. I'm gonna make her mine all mine

Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl

When you turned and walked away, that's when I want to say now
Come on baby give me a whirl, I wanna know if you'll be my girl

Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl

When you turned and walked away, that's when I wanna say
Come on baby give me a whirl, I wanna know if you'll be my girl

Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey, hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl

Lyrics Alabama - The Boy

Lyrics Alabama - The Boy

He stays up at night till way after dark
Feeding the dog that lives in our yard
He'll put on my shoes and stumble around
But together we can catch any outlaw in town
The boy tries to be just like me
I'm all that he tries to be
Watching cartoons on my knee
Mamma's little man and me
He wants to know how this and that goes
He'll play all day on a mountain of clay
And he'll fight with me to show that he's strong
But if he gets hurt it's mamma he wants
The boy tries to be just like me
I'm all that he tries to be
Watching cartoons on my knee
It's mamma's little man and me
Some day I know he'll leave us alone
Break mamma's heart I'll try to be strong
But if I shed a tear I hope he won't see
The big man is him and the boy is me
The boy tried to be just like me
He's all that I try to be
Now I'm watching cartoons on my knees
And mamma's little man is me
Let's go to bed mamma

Lyrics Alabama - If It Ain't Dixie

Lyrics Alabama - If It Ain't Dixie

Oh I love those Colorado Rockies
And that big starry Montana sky
And the lights of San Francisco
On a California night
Enjoyed those ballgames in Chicago
On those windy afternoons
It' s a big beautiful country
But I' m never home too soon
If it ain' t Dixie, it won' t do

If it ain' t Dixie it don' t feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
I' ve had good times
North of the line
I' ve got a lot of good friends too
But if it ain' t Dixie, it won' t do
It won' t do

When the leaves turn in New England
I love the chill that' s in the air
I' ve walked the New York City sidewalks
Had a big time in Times Square
But now my wheels are rollin' southward
And heaven' s comin' into view
Home-sweet-home is Alabama
That' s what I look forward to

If it ain' t Dixie it don' t feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
I' ve had good times
North of the line
I' ve got a lot of good friends too
If it ain' t Dixie, it won' t do
It won' t do

If it ain' t Dixie
Oh no, Oh no-whoah

Now my wheels are rollin' southward
And heaven' s comin' into view
Home-sweet-home is Alabama
That' s what I look forward to

Y' all come to Dixie...
