[Verse 1]
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.
