Amanda Donald - When I Leave Alabama

I'm seventeen and running from the one I might become
These people they ain't nothing but simple where I'm from
I wanna see the world and give myself a chance
So I'm leaving Alabama ain't gonna give it another glance

When I leave Alabama to start my life again brand new
When I leave Alabama to do all that I plan to
I'm gonna leave this life behind me, throw caution to the wind
When I leave Alabama I ain't coming back again

I'm twenty-eight and living close to the town that I call home
Those years that I spent giving the road my life, my soul
Gone like a vapor, in an instant so it seems
So I'm back in Alabama with what's left of my dreams

Now when I leave Alabama to venture out on my own
When I leave Alabama I can't wait to come back home
There's nothing like a sunset over Mobile Bay
Now when I leave Alabama I don't stay gone too long these days

I'm eighty-three and dying I miss my husband and my son
This life it seemed to fly and I can't believe it's almost done
I'm thankful for my time here I hope I served it well
But I'm leaving Alabama this is my last farewell

When I leave Alabama to enter Heaven's gates
When I leave Alabama eternity awaits
I'm gonna meet my Savior and see all my family
When I leave Alabama to join heaven's jubilee
When I leave Alabama
