Alabama the Beautiful

Alabama the beautiful Place where I grew Where small towns never change and everyone seems to wave at you Where everyones personal buisness is pretty much always your own Too your favorite local drunk On the corner singing Old songs Where the creeks are always cold and your friends are never far Your only means of entertainment? of course is the local bar Alabama the beautiful The home in which I choose Too live at peace and in beauty An offer I just can't refuse "This here is God's country" Some people might would say If you want to see the edge of heaven Just come on down our way Alabama the beautiful My Home where I grew where I grew to be a man A country boy through and through

Cody, I have to agree with you. Alabama is a beautiful place and the people are wonderful too. Spent a lot of time in Mobile but like the small towns better. Excellent Write. Always, Will

Sweet Home Alabama, this is beautiful, Cody. You describe very well all of the things that make small southern towns such wonderful places to live. I especially like: "Where the creeks are always cold and your friends are never far." People here in the South certainly do seem to stick together. Great write! Love, Carolyn
