I can see her on that sliver sand
Dancing to the local band
With the big red sun sinking down
She's the show attracting the crowd Hey Well, I fell hard and I fell fast
If it wasn't for me it would've last
But the fool in me broke her heart
She tore out of town leaving all these parts
To Alabama Hey, what I gotta do to get heart back on the highway?
Coming my way soon
Hey, what I gotta say to talk her into my arms
Back to Texas, Arkansas, out of Alabama Yeah, nothing against the crimson tide
I just need that girl here by my side
And I know if I get my way
Alabama's gonna be crying that day Yeah, yeah, yeah Hey, what I gotta do to get heart back on the highway?
Coming my way soon
Hey, what I gotta say to talk her into my arms
Back to Texas, Arkansas, out of Alabama I just can't seem to let her go
I gotta get her off of that Gulf Coast
She should be with the one that loves her most Hey, what I gotta do to get heart back on the highway?
Coming my way soon
Hey, what I gotta say to talk her into my arms
Back to Texas, Arkansas, out of Alabama
Out of Alabama I dream of her behind the wheel
Saying goodbye
