First tCime he sGaw the grounAmd get busted He was tFen and it was Cnineteen fifty-tGwo His dCaddy workGed hard froAmm sun up to sun down and the gFoing gCot tuff 'hind tGhem old grey mules The Cfarm greGw to be a mAmoney maker and the Fhouse he lived inC grew up room bGy room The boy worked Chard but sGoon got tired ofAm farming So he slipped Faway one night Gbeneath the harvest mooCn.
[Chorus 1]
His neck was rFed as Alabama clCay but the cities Amcall pulled him awGay He's got a factory Fjob and runs a big Cmachine He don't miss the Gfarm or the fields of gCreen.
[Verse 2]
Now the cities Cjust a Gprison without Amfences. His joFb is justC a routine he canG't stand and at Cnight hGe dreams of widAme open spaces fresh dFirt beneath his Ctoes and on his Ghands. Then onCe day a pictuGre came inside Ama letter of a Fyoung girl with a Cbaby in her aGrms. And the Cwords sheG wrote would change his liAmfe forever. So he wenFt to raise his fGamily on their farCm.
[Chorus 2]
His neck is rFed as AlabamaC Clay Now he's going Amhome this time to sGtay Where the roots run Fdeep on the family Ctree and the tractor Grolls through the fields of gCreen.
His neck is rFed as AlabamaC Clay Now he's going Amhome this time to sGtay Where the roots run Fdeep on the family Ctree and the tractor Grolls through the fields of gCreen.
[Outro]
His neck is rFed......as Alabama claCy.
