Well I've been to New York City
Partied all night on Broadway
Climbed to the top of Miss Liberty
I saw the Yankee's players play
But my heart still lives in Alabama
Just as sure as the southern winds blow
Oh my heart still lives in Alabama
When I die¦ bury me below
Well I've been to Detroit city
Worked 20 years on the a**embly line
Making Ford, Dodges and Chevys
Peace and joy I didn't find
Cause my heart still lives in Alabama
Just as sure as the southern winds blow
Oh my heart still lives in Alabama
When I die… bury me below
Well I've been out to California
Spent some nights in Beverly Hills
Played the part of a movie actor
But I never ever got the thrill
Oh but my heart still lives in Alabama
Just as sure as the southern winds blow
Oh my heart still lives in Alabama
When I die¦ bury me below
Somewhere down in Mobile
Somewhere up about Birmingham
Lord what about Tuscaloosa
What about Evergreen, Alabama
I'm talking about Montgomery, Tuskegee, Opelika
Cause my heart¦ lives in Alabama
Just as sure as those southern winds blow
Oh my heart lives in Alabama
