"Alabama Broke" lyrics

"Alabama Broke"

Stole a bus in Alabama
Didn't even cause a scene
But love will drive a man to madness
When the world gets in between

She smeared her lipstick on the window
Shouted into pouring rain
Said I'm changing my body, darling
But my heart will stay the same

And I stood up
I'm chasing down the truth
And I stood up
I'm chasing after you

If the world won't let you blossom
In the colors that you choose
Then I'll break the rules to find you
I've got nothing more to lose

Cheap parts for flashing halos
Everyone is losing their cool
I've been in love before and it's heavy
Telling you now that there ain't no room

And I stood up
I'm chasing down the truth
And I stood up
I'm chasing after you

Get my fucking body on the table
Carve your name into my ribs
I hope you get a good look at this building
'Cause it'll never be the same again

And I stood up
You better believe it
And I stood up
You better believe me
