Christie - Alabama lyrics

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 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 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 I set my sights upon a new tomorrow With no sorrow 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
