[Verse]
The sun sinks low on the cotton field's frame
Chasing those dreams that never feel the same
Red dirt stains on my boots and my heart
Alabama whispers where my soul got its start
[Chorus]
Oh Alabama you're the rhythm in my veins
Through the thunder the heartache and gentle rains
Sweet home where the river knows my name
Oh Alabama I'll never be the same
[Verse 2]
Old church steeple standing tall in the haze
Crickets sing gospel to the twilight's blaze
Grandma’s porch creaks like a faithful old tune
Her stories light up the harvest moon
[Chorus]
Oh Alabama you're the rhythm in my veins
Through the thunder the heartache and gentle rains
Sweet home where the river knows my name
Oh Alabama I'll never be the same
[Bridge]
Roll Tide echoes through the fields of red clay
Every breeze carries history every word it says
Magnolia spirits dancing in the southern air
No matter where I roam my heart’s always here
[Chorus]
Oh Alabama you're the rhythm in my veins
Through the thunder the heartache and gentle rains
Sweet home where the river knows my name
Oh Alabama I'll never be the same
