Alabama's On My Mind

Intro Faith and resiliency have been my family's legacy From my grandma back in Mobile to my mother in Montgomery Verse 1 Granny wore her faith like a favorite pair of shoes She’d say, ain’t nothin’ in life you can’t pray your way through Mama worked the counter at our hometown Auto Zone When daddy died, she took a second job cleanin’ people’s homes Pre Chorus I learned how to stand up when life knocked me down And if I wanna see heaven, can’t be starin’ at the ground Chorus Alabama's on my mind When I’m searchin’ for a sign Or I need to stand and fight Alabama's on my mind Any time I need remindin' Who I am when I lose sight I think of the ladies who made me Alabama's on my mind Verse 2 Well, divorce ain’t ever easy, but dead flowers don’t grow Now it’s me and my two girls trying to make it on our own So I pray when prayer is needed, and whenever life kicks me I hear my mama’s voice sayin’, “girl get back up on your feet” Chorus Alabama's on my mind When I’m searchin’ for a sign Or I need to stand and fight Alabama's on my mind Any time I need remindin' Who I am when I lose sight I think of the ladies who made me Alabama's on my mind Final Chorus Alabama's on my mind When I’m searchin’ for a sign Or I need to stand and fight Alabama's on my mind Any time I need remindin' Who I am when I lose sight Thank God for the ladies who made me Alabama's on my mind Outro I come from a long line of strong women Oh…Now, I’m passin’ down the tradition Alabama’s on my mind
