lyrics

ANOTHER TUSCALOOSA SUNRISE

Did the circuit down from Memphis, just a drifter with an emphasis on staying drunk and
stoned
Raked the rounds in Mississippi with a van of New York hippies headed home
Had a little lark in Arkansas with a sassy little Chickasaw, she let me gnaw the bone
Now I’m stuck in Alabama with her pair of pink pajamas on my own

Well that old East Texas highway had an exit labeled “My Way,” now I’ve nowhere left to go
My bar tab’s out of credit and I’m just too dry to sweat it anymore
Birmingham they wined and dined me, Mobile beauties tried to blind me but I still know what I know
It’s no sweet home Alabama to a boy who’s Texarkana to the core

Another Tuscaloosa sunrise and my Texarkana heart is sinking low
I’m down in Tuscaloosa but my luck it up and left for Tupelo
Too much rambling too much gambling restless days and one-night-standing for the soul
Another Tuscaloosa sunrise and my Texarkana heart is sinking low

It’s been double time and driving blind, I tried so hard to clear my mind of all I know is true
But I still see my little darling planting bean rows in a garden two by two
Traded Texas sand for red clay land and heeding every wind at hand, her rooster crew and crew
Now those Piney Woods are calling and tomorrow I’ll be hauling home to you

Another Tuscaloosa sunrise and my Texarkana heart is sinking low
I’m down in Tuscaloosa but my luck it up and left for Tupelo
Too much rambling too much gambling restless days and one-night-standing for the soul
Another Tuscaloosa sunrise and my Texarkana heart is sinking low
Another Tuscaloosa sunrise and my Texarkana heart is coming home
