i learned to play the flat top on them good ol' gosple songs
THAN I HEARD ABOUT THE BARROOMS JUST ACROSS THE GEORGIA LINE
WHERE A BOY CAN MAKE A LIVING PLAYING GUITAR LATE AT NIGHT
HAD TO LEARN ABOUT THE LADIES TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND
WHY THE YOUNG GIRLS FALL IN LOVE WITH THE BOYS IN THE BAND
WHEN THE BOYS TURN THEIR MUSIC AND THE GIRLS JUST TURN AWAY
TO SOME OTHER GUITAR PLAYER IN SOME OTHER LATE NIGHT PLACE
YEAH,HELD ON TO MY MUSIC LET THE LADIES WALK AWAY
TOOK MY SONGS AND DREAMS TO NASHVILLE THAN I MOVED ON TO L.A.
AND UPTO NEW YORK CITY ALL ACROSS THE U.S.A.
I'VE LOST SOMUCH OF ME BUT THERES ENOUGH OF ME TO SAY
THAT MY HOMES IN ALABAMA NO MATTER WHERE I LAY MY HEAD
MY HOMES IN ALABAMA SOUTHERN BORN AND SOUTHERN BRED
