I wasn't so bad
23 it was time for me
Not to be
How did I get pushed into thinking
That my family'd be better off
Better off
In Alamo in Alabama ma ma ma ma ma
He was only so good
Only 5 he only spoke when he was spoken to
Hadn't seen any of the cruel cruel world
Not a lesson learned or an angry word
Alamo in Alabama
This was supposed to be daddy's last night
Sonny I tried to tell you
That I could not find the handle
But when I'm gone I get away far gone
Safe to say and I'll be blowing out the candles
But I think I better leave one on
He just sat on the bed looking out
"Hey daddy is that where we're going to?"
"Yes sonny we're going to get the hell out while we can
Because maybe it's better out there."
On the verge
Of the edge
In the doorway
By the ledge
The Alamo in Alabama
This was supposed to be
Daddy's last night
Sonny I tried to tell you
That I could not find the handle
But when I'm gone I get away far gone
Safe to say and I'll be blowing out the candles
But I think I better leave one on
I'm gonna leave you
I don't want to lead you on.
