Alabama State of Mind Lyrics

THERE'S A LASTING IMPRESSION
FOREVER IN MY MIND
A MENTAL PICTURE OF A PLACE THAT I CALL HOME
AND WHENEVER THIS BIG CITY STARTS TO MOVE TOO FAST
I CAN KICK OFF THESE SHOES AND FLIP IT ON.I SEE A WHITE FARM HOUSE AND A FLATBED TRUCK
AND AN OLD FARM FILLED WITH WINTER HAY
AND A BARGE OUT IN THE CHANNEL TAKES ITS OWN SWEET TIME
BY TONIGHT HE'LL BE A HUNDRED MILES AWAYAND I CAN ROLL ACROSS THE RIVER
WADE ON UP THE CREEK
WALK ON DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD JUST KILLN'
TIME
NO MATTER WHERE I AM, I'LL ALWAYS BE
IN AN ALABAMA STATE OF MINDWELL I CAN STILL SMELL THE DIRT OF A NEW-PLOWED FIELD
OR WATCH THE SUN SET ON THE RIVER 'TIL IT'S GONE
AND ALL GOD'S CREATURES COME ALIVE ON A MOONLIT NIGHT
AND MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE ALL OF THEIR OWNAND ON A LAID-BACK SUMMER SUNDAY AFTER CHURCH
KINFOLK COME AROUND AND VISIT FOR AWHILE
AND I CAN ALMOST TASTE WHAT'S ON MY PLATE

SUNDAY DINNER COOKED UP SOUTHERN STYLEAND I CAN ROLL ACROSS THE RIVER
WADE ON UP THE CREEK
WALK ON DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD JUST KILLN'
TIME
NO MATTER WHERE I GO I'LL ALWAYS BE
IN AN ALABAMA STATE OF MINDIF YOU CATCH ME IN A DAYDREAM YOU WILL
ALWAYS BE
IN AN ALABAMA STATE OF MIND.
