Alabama Stone

[00:19.20] She was born on the border of a red-clay river
[00:23.06] Some place south of Chickasaw
[00:26.11] Where the cotton grew high and the stars free fall
[00:29.69] The world stands still while the copperheads crawl
[00:34.66] Car parts in the yard and the weeds overgrown
[00:37.98] But Daddy built that house on Alabama stone
[00:45.38] On that solid rock she stands
[00:48.43] All other ground is sinking sand
[00:51.82] But you can't ever get too far gone
[00:55.18] When your roots run deep through Alabama stone
[01:05.46] She liked to say she'd get out someday
[01:08.94] Maybe make it to Mobile
[01:12.36] But she met a man just good enough
[01:15.82] To make her stop turnin' those wheels
[01:20.87] Now she cleans the kitchen and he's never home
[01:24.29] So she stares at her hand, at that Alabama stone
[01:31.56] On that solid rock she stands
[01:34.66] All other ground is sinking sand
[01:38.33] But you can't ever get too far gone
[01:41.44] When your roots run deep through Alabama stone
[01:47.90] Ooh, through Alabama stone
[01:58.98] Fresh pile of dirt and a fake red rose
[02:05.34] They carved her name, last one in a row
[02:12.80] Under that solid rock she lies
[02:15.84] Too old to dream, too young to die
[02:19.48] But you can't ever get too far gone
[02:22.61] When your roots run deep through Alabama stone
[02:26.47] On that solid rock she stands
[02:29.55] All other ground is sinking sand
[02:33.07] But you can't ever get too far gone
[02:36.22] When your roots run deep through Alabama stone
[02:40.96] Ooh, ooh, through Alabama stone
[02:47.74] Ooh, ooh, through Alabama stone
[02:55.12]
