Kevin M Thompson - That Alabama Sign

Drivin' down an old dirt road in a crimson red Chevrolet truck
Runnin' low on gasoline, but we'll make it there with a little bit of luck
Take a left next to Dorsey trailers, you can't miss it, it's a real big sign
Down the highway 'bout a mile or so, turn right between those Alabama pines

Big pond on one side of the road and two small ones back in the woods
One's stocked with nothin' but catfish, drop the feed if they aren't bitin' too good
A Crimson Tide flag hangin' from the front porch, let 'em all know we're "Roll Tide Roll!"
Except a few stragglers in the family
They're Tigers, Dawgs, and Seminoles.

Man I miss those days when I'd drive through those Alabama pines
Dad teachin' me to catch those bass and teachin' me to rig my lines
As I'm headin' east on I-20 I know that I'm gettin' closer to mine
I'll be at peace and I'll feel at home when I see the "Sweet Home Alabama" sign
The "Sweet Home Alabama" Sign

Grew up in the capitol city, things ain't great like they used to be
But I still look forward to goin' because that's still home to me
So pack the dogs, put the baby in the carseat
If we leave now we'll make it in time to watch the game with Mom and Dad
And take a drive through those Alabama pines

Afterwards we'll head to Coffee County where the mem'ries from my childhood go
And I'm pretty sure someone got married in that old white gazebo
Pack it up after a night of fishin', guess it's time to head back home
As I'm drivin' west on I-20 I wave goodbye as I'm singin' this song

Man I miss those days when I'd drive through those Alabama pines
Dad teachin' me to catch those bass and teachin' me to rig my lines
As I'm headin' east on I-20 I know that I'm gettin' closer to mine
I'll be at peace and I'll feel at home when I see the "Sweet Home Alabama" sign
The "Sweet Home Alabama" sign

Been gone for over ten years now, it never gets better like I thought it would
Always feel like there's somethin' missin' like I'm a stranger in my neighborhood
And in case I didn't catch you there, I'll make sure I visit next time
Thank God I'm only a drive away from those Alabama pines

Man I miss those days when I'd drive through those Alabama pines
Dad teachin' me to catch those bass and teachin' me to rig my lines
As I'm headin' east on I-20 I know that I'm gettin' closer to mine
I'll be at peace and I'll feel at home when I see the "Sweet Home Alabama" sign
The "Sweet Home Alabama" sign
The "Sweet Home Alabama" sign
The "Sweet Home Alabama" sign
