[D] Drinking was forbidden in my Christian country home.
I learned to play the flat [G] top on them good old gospel [C] songs.
Then I heard about the barrooms [A] just across the Georgia line, where a boy could make a
living [D] playing guitar late at night.
Had to learn about the ladies too young to understand why the young girls fall in love
[G] with the boys in the band.
[C] When the boys turn to music, [A] the girls just turn away to some other guitar picker in [D] some
other late night place.
Yeah, held on to my music, let the ladies walk away.
Took my [D] songs and dreams to Nashville, [G] then I moved on to L.A.
[C] Up to New York City, [A] all across the USA.

know when it's good.
Oh, I'll speak my southern English, as natural as I please.
I'm in the heart of Dixie, [G] Dixie's in the heart of me.
[C] And someday when I make it, [A] when luck finds a way, somewhere high on Lookout Mountain,
[D] I'll just smile with pride and say [G] that my [A] home's [D] in Alabama, no [Am] matter where I lay my head.
