Jason Isbell - Alabama pines

^CWell I moved into this room, if you could call it that, a week ago. I ^Amnever do what I'm supposed to do. I hardly even know my ^Fname anymore. When no one calls it out, it kinda ^Cvanishes away. ^CI can't get to sleep at night. The parking lot's so loud and bright. The ^Ama/c hasn't worked in twenty years. Probably never made a ^Fsingle person cold, but I can't say the same for me. I've ^Cdone it many times.

Somebody ^Ctake me ^Amhome through those ^FAlabama pine^Cs. [Verse 2] ^CYou can't drive through Talladega on a weekend in October. ^AmHead up north to Jacksonville. Cut around and over. Watch your ^Fspeed in Boiling Springs. They ain't got a thing to do. They'll ^Cget you every time.

Somebody ^Ctake me ^Amhome through those ^FAlabama pines^C. Somebody ^Ctake me ^Amhome through those ^FAlabama pines^C. ^COhh Ohhh ^AmOhhh Ohhh ^FOhhh ^COhh Ohhh ^AmOhhh Ohhh ^FOhhh

If we p^Cass through on a Sunday, better make a stop at Wayne's. It's the ^Amonly open liquor store north, and I can't stand the pain ^Fof being by myself without a little help on a ^CSunday afternoon. ^CI needed that damn woman like a dream needs gasoline. ^AmI tried to be some ancient kind of man, one that's never seen the ^Fbeauty in the world, but I tried to chase it down... tried to ^Cmake the whole thing mine.

Somebody ^Ctake me ^Amhome through those ^FAlabama pine^Cs. Somebody ^Ctake me ^Amhome through those ^FAlabama pine^Cs. Ohh ^AmOhhh Ohhh^F Ohhh Ohhh ^COhh Ohhh ^AmOhhh Ohhh ^FOhhh

I've been st^Cuck here in this town, if you could call it that, a year or two. ^AmI never do what I'm supposed to do. I don't even need a ^Fname anymore. When no one calls it out, it kinda ^Cvanishes away. ^CNo one gives a damn about the things I give a damn about. The ^Amliberties that we can't do without seem to disappear like ^Fghosts in the air. When we don't even care, it truly ^Cvanishes away.
