Alabama Kin

It's hard to think about now as easy as it was then It flowed effortlessly like conversation with a life long friend I hate thinking about back when but love living back then And I would give all I got to ride the wind again And feel the comfort of my alabama kin We were never lonely never scared back into the dark eyes of a unknown future we stare like some ole cowboy with his hand on his hip waiting to pull that steel needing a siign that twitch in the eyes in which we glared to pull out the wrath of our anger and our friends see it thru the smoke and see how it ends. Running with our alabama kin I may never feel again Man I wish it was yesterday with meat in the smoker Food on the grill the a big fire is burning the cooler full of iced down beer Its sec and coors light beer i ts war eagle its roll tide it them vouls its momas sweet ea and daddies deer cooked just right man wish we was there Come take look in the past its right here one last chance I may never be again with my alabama kin How does it happen time moves on all the seasons winter spring summer and fall before you know it its all gone Your closest friend you don't even know how to call You want the past but there know going back at all Like a death row inmate you quit taking visitors from the Past back when life was good cause it hurts to remember That just let it go until your cleared to eat your last meal Maybe after the poison puts you to your end you can Feel the love feel the warmth again of your alabama kin Of your alabama kin I want to live again with my alabama kin I want it all again with my alabama kin I want the days out at oak mountain state park I want my old dogs and my best friends yard Give me the ball they won't stop me I will push it thru I will get us in I sware this time I will see it thru just give me Back myself show me a cause theirs no me without then Like there no good if there no sin there no together If there know apart we all know the feeling of loss And it scars I won't put you thru it friend I be right here Whenever you are you will never feel abandoned Lost or weak I will pick you up ill keep you on your feet I know you do the same you already proved it to me no I cant explain just what I mean just know it comes from The heart Things will be so good life only gets better from here my friend For you and me and our alabama kin our alabama kin.
