Alabama Soft Spoken Blues Lyrics - Singles - Nanci Griffith

Southern man, you sure are pretty, got a smile to still the city 

And, Lord, you know you got those sleepy eyes 

Alabama sweet-talking baby, calmed the heart of a lonely lady 

You kept me flying high and the leaving easy 

And it's Dallas in the rain and I was dreaming 

October wind is still blowing, Lord, you know the songs were flowing 

From a broken-hearted lady by the wayside 

Listen to my song, you kept it ringing clean and strong 

You held me like an angel to confide in 

And I tried to make you home but I was dreaming 

Lord, I guess you just ain't home 

That damned old telephone is trying hard to help me find the lines here 

Wish that you could understand why I love the other man 

He gives me truth and reason I believe in 

Alabama soft spoken blues again, Alabama soft spoken blues again 

Early morning fog is rolling in, it's time for leaving
