Scott Kirby: Music

Alabama Nights

(Scott Kirby)
scott kirby
the song is the story, this it is true. talk to anyone involved, put your experience to use.
30 miles south of birmingham
in this alabama land
the rain washed me down from new york city
won't you help me to stand

I've got a dollar in my pocket
and a soul that's filled with dreams
but I left my heart out in the city
so don't walk out on me

as I gaze upon this night
I think maybe what they say might be true
the stars really fell down on sweet alabama
and love runs out on you

and it's just been one of them crazy summers
and i've been feelin' so alone
when i finally look you in the eye all my answers all come to me now
just worried that you'll learn the truth

there's a streetlight in the campus of montevallo university
and it's like a beacon bright shining in the dark
chasin away reality
