Alabama - Christie

1st verse

I had ten cents in my pocket, When I left my father’s house

With a tombstone in my memory, I headed my wagon south

My possessions numbered but a few, When I started my journey

Just a shotgun and a Bowie knife, And a banjo on my knee

Alabama, you sure look good to me

Alabama, just you wait and see

When I find you, I’ll stay around you

And build a brand new dream

2nd verse

With a packsack on my shoulder, And a fresh water canteen

I set out into the future, To find out my destiny

For a thousand miles or more I came, Just to see what I could see

With a yearning for a better life, And a reason to believe

Bridge

I set my sights upon a new tomorrow

With no sorrow
