In the morning I'll be riding
On a train southbound
To the place that's on my mind
I'll go looking for a lover
I'll be searching for a friend
Promise me I won't be back again
On the road to Alabama
If I could find my way
When the road leads to another
There'll be nothing more to say
In the evening I'll be drinking
In a bar downtown
Lonely as 'never to be found'
I'll be longing for a lover
I'll be craving for a friend
Wondering If I should go back again
On the road to Alabama
If I could find my way
When the road leads to another
There'll be nothing more to say
I've been waiting for a long time
To get on this train
Now the wait is over
So I'll be on my way
No more looking for a lover
No more waiting on a friend
All I wanna do is start over again
On the road to Alabama
If I could find my way
When the road leads to another
There'll be nothing more to say
