Nanci Griffith "Alabama Soft Spoken Blues" |
Southern man, you sure are pretty, got a smile to still the city And, Lord, you know you got those sleepy eyes Alabama sweet-talking baby, calmed the heart of a lonely lady You kept me flying high and the leaving easy And it's Dallas in the rain and I was dreaming October wind is still blowing, Lord, you know the songs were flowing From a broken-hearted lady by the wayside Listen to my song, you kept it ringing clean and strong You held me like an angel to confide in And I tried to make you home but I was dreaming Lord, I guess you just ain't home That damned old telephone is trying hard to help me find the lines here Wish that you could understand why I love the other man He gives me truth and reason I believe in Alabama soft spoken blues again, Alabama soft spoken blues again Early morning fog is rolling in, it's time for leaving Alabama soft spoken blues Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
