lirik lagu johnny alabama – dylan earl
[verse 1]
the name is johnny alabama
i come from scranton, arkansas
i’m lost and folly out in oklahoma
searchin’ for a truer way back home
[verse 2]
my drinkin’ got a bit too heavy
and soon my gamblin’ followed suit
i lost my money to a cherokee man
who spent it on a woman i called mine
[chorus]
my boots are scuffed and my lips are cracked
i ain’t got no good intentions, i ain’t never goin’ back
to me now home is nothin’ but a memory
some say is soon to fade with time
[verse 3]
i think i’ll head a bit further south
see what that gulf breeze is all about
the heat from tulsa’s grinnin’ mouth
will draw you in and sweat you out
’cause tonight the sun is sinkin’ in the south
[verse 4]
hop a train down to new orleans
where the coast line breaks to a dirty green
i’ll meet a voodoo queen who’ll smilе but fail to do for me
everything i need but don’t desirе
[chorus]
my boots are scuffed and my lips are cracked
i ain’t got no good intentions, i ain’t never goin’ back
to me now home is nothin’ but a memory
some say is soon to fade with time
