I said, “Mama don’t you worry, I’m getting by just fine out on the road.

She said, “Boy, it wouldn’t kill you none to look out past the bright lights on that stage.
‘Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can’t find in Tennessee.
The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to dream.

But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home.”
I hung up the phone and I could feel the emptiness at 80 miles an hour.
And I listened close and I could hear my heart beating louder than the tires.

‘Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can’t find in Tennessee.

But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home.”
Yeah, there’s stars in Alabama.
That just can’t wait ’til you get home.
