Alabama Sundown

The cold December wind seems bent on rockin' New York City
 The town that's got me down to my last dime
 And everywhere I go, the people seem in such a hurry
 To keep this Mobile girl from feelin' fine
 Lord, what I'd give to see an Alabama sundown
 The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
 New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
 But that never was the Mobile way, no, no
 That never was the Mobile way
 A flashing sign says that you can rent a bed for just a dollar
 In anybody's town, that price is cheap
 It's a shame to know a girl would ever fall down to my standards
 'Cause I need ninety cents to go to sleep
 Lord, what I'd give to see an Alabama sundown
 The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
 New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
 But that never was the Mobile way, no, no
 That never was the Mobile way
 I felt so big the day I left that Mobile couldn't hold me
 I thought there had to be a better way
 But if I could find that man that first called Lady Luck a lady
 That gentleman would surely learn to pray
 Lord, what I'd give to see an Alabama sundown
 The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
 New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
 But that never was the Mobile way, no, no
 That never was the Mobile way
 Lord, what I'd give to see an Alabama sundown
 The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
 New York town
