King Of Alabama Lyrics - Brent Cobb

Well, I didn't know him best 

He'd say we were friends 

We both rode the highways on a song 

So I'm writing this one here 

In memory of him 

'Cause the King of Alabama 

Has gone home 

He was a man among men 

The old-school kind 

Had a great big heart 

A laid-back mind 

Let you hold his guitar if you broke a string 

If you thought he looked country 

Outta heard him sing

From Alabama across the Rio Grande 

It'd be black top down with a Five B's playing 

Not because he loved it 

He did that too 

But he did it man 'cause that's what he was born to do, well 

Some people calculate moves 

He never had a thing to prove 

He just let the wind take him where it may 

It's a damn shame the way things go 

It's too bad we have to lose the good folks 

But the King of Alabama 

Has gone home

And nothing good ever happens after midnight 

So the story goes 

You can't trust nobody 

It don't matter how close 

It was a friend that took him 

From his family 

I keep his chain in my pocket 

His son in my prayers 

Every stage I'm on 

I can feel him there 

Some people calculate moves 

He never had a thing to prove 

He just let the wind take him where it may 

It's a damn shame the way things go 

It's too bad we have to lose the good folks 

But the King of Alabama 

Has gone home 

Some people calculate moves 

He never had a thing to prove 

He just let the wind take him where it may 

And he'd say: Honky-tonk's the trick 

And get his guitar and grab a good pick 

And let the old tunes possess you as they're playing 

Well, It's a damn shame the way things go 

It's too bad we have to lose the good folks 

But the King of Alabama 

The King of Alabama 

The King of Alabama 

Has gone home
