That mornin sun made its way
through the windshield of my chevorlet

Cadd9 - Walk down ----- 

whiskey eyes and ashtray breath
o[—–]n a chert rock gravel road

What the hell did I do last night
thats the story of my life

Cadd9 -Walk down-------- 

like tryin to remember words

-------- D

to a song nobody wrote

And its sad and its long
and cant nobody sing along
its a southbound train
its a whistle in the wind
aint no one there to care where ive been
im hummin on that lonesome song again

I took a trip across country from montgomery
discovered id been wrong for so long
I thought it was the fame and the glory and the money
but all ive got to show is a dam song

And its sad and its long
and cant nobody sing along
its a southbound train
its a whistle in the wind
theres no one there to sing to in the end
im hummin on that lonesome song again

And its sad and its long
and cant nobody sing along
its a southbound train
its a whistle in the wind
aint no one there to care where ive been
im hummin on that lonesome song again

The mornin sun made its way
through the windshield of my chevorlet

Cadd9 - walk down-------

Capo 3

I said, ?Mama don?t you worry, I?m getting by just fine out on the road.
Yeah, tonight we played in Knoxville and tomorrow night its back to Music
Row.

No, I don?t know when I?m coming home, Montgomery seems so very far away?.
She said, ?Boy, it wouldn?t kill you none to look out past the bright
lights on that stage.

(Chorus)

?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.
I know there?s big names up in Nashville. And you?ll be one before too long.
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home.?

2nd Verse

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.
This old bus was headed west but my mind was drifting somewhere towards the
south.

And I closed my eyes and I could see the bright lights shining clearly
through the clouds.

(Chorus)

?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.
I know there?s big names up in Nashville. And you?ll be one before too long.
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home.?

Yeah, there?s stars in Alabama. (Pause) That just can?t wait ?til you get
home.

This is only my second time submitting and it’s late tonight so if I messed up I
I just got frustrated that nobody had put anything together for more of Jamey’s songs. Anyways
is my contribution.

This is a great song.

Enjoy,
