Alabama Sundown - Dolly Parton

The cold December wind seems bent on rocking 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 feeling 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 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
