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.
