Lyrics
last night I sat down to write you a song
from a motel room outside of jackson
I couldn?t write two words ?till the tears hit the page
thinkin? bout your love causes that reaction
and it?s a hundred and fifteen miles to west monroe
chasing my big dreams on a small stage with every lonely show
CHORUS
I wanna turn this road around
make it alabama bound
I wanna hold my dixie princess in my arms
this lonely road takes me away
twenty towns in thirty days
but you should know that wherever I am
my heart will be with you in birmingham
I?ve played every roadside honky tonk and small town corner bar
from the georgia border to fort smith arkansas
I played the songs I wrote for you to someone else?s baby blues
but when I sang about love it was you that I saw
CHORUS
I wanna turn this road around
make it alabama bound
I wanna hold my dixie princess in my arms
this lonely road takes me away
twenty towns in thirty days
but you should know that wherever I am
my heart will be with you in birmingham
last night I sat down to write you a song
from a motel room outside of jackson
