Alex Murtha - Alabama Sky Lyrics

In my mind I wander
But why can't I wander to you
To city lights and airports I fly
While I sleep under an Alabama sky
Foothills and shoals line Heaven's great walls
A subtle red mist reaching over it all
No wrong turn nor detour could send out this call
Or show me my heart standing twenty feet tall
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
These big city skylines, their sirens that sing
Where my friends set up lives that I see through my screen
While I sit alone here, guitar in hand
Writing songs about my life, something I don't understand
In my mind I wander
But why can't I wander to you
To city lights and airports I fly
While I sleep under an Alabama sky
And I know that one day I'll look back around the bend
See the lesson from schools I never paid to attend
And the faces of teachers I'll now call old friends
Wishing me well on my way as a means to an end
In my mind I wander
But why can't I wander to you
To city lights and airports I fly
While I sleep under an Alabama sky
In my mind I wander
But why can't I wander to you
To city lights and airports I fly
Ooh while I sleep under an Alabama sky
I sleep under an Alabama sky
I sleep under an Alabama sky
In my heart I can't say why
I sleep under an Alabama sky
In my heart I can't say why
I sleep under an Alabama sky
In my heart I can't say why
I sleep under an Alabama sky
In my heart I can't say why
I sleep under an Alabama sky
