"Goin' Back To Alabama" lyrics

"Goin' Back To Alabama"

Going back to Alabama
Now that I've learned a thing or two
Life for me had been so easy
But I've got some living yet to do

'Cause a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again, my friend

Some days, I didn't wanna wake up in the morning
My family and friends were all down on me
I tried to tell 'em where I was going
But they never saw the man I saw in me
Some folks call me a dreamer
Other folks laughed and called me a fool
All I ever wanted to be was a winner
'Cause I know a winner can never lose

'Cause a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again
Yes, a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again, my friend

'Cause a man who walks by the side of the road
He can turn himself around
He can pick himself up (Pick himself up)
And dust himself off (Dust himself off)
(And) Start all over again

I'm a man
I'm a man

Ah, you know a man who walks by the side of the road
He can turn himself around
He can pick himself up (Pick himself up)
And dust himself off (Dust himself off)
And start all over, start all over
Start all over again

You know a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again
You know a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again
You know a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
