Alabama( 阿拉巴馬合唱團 ) Greatest Hits歌詞
1.She and I

She and I live in our own little world
don't worry about the world outside
She and I agree
She and I lead a perfectly normal life
Ah but just because we aren't often seen socially
people think we've got something to hide.
But all our friends know we're just a little old fashioned
She and I

Oh ain't it great
aint it fine
to have a love for someone that others can't find
Aint it wonderful to know all we ever need is just the two of us
She and I
so wonderful
She and I

She and I share with every body else
the same wants, needs and desires
She and I save
She and I pay on everything we acquire

Ah but just because we aren't often seen separately
people think we live one life.

Its hard for them to see how anyone could be as close as
She and I


2.Mountain Music

Lyrics:Randy Owen
Music:Randy Owen

Chorus:
Oh, play me some mountain music, like grandma and grandpa used
to play.
Then I'll float on down the river to a Cajun hideaway

Drift away like Tom Sawyer, ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn.
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle, daze dreamin' again.

Chorus

Swim across the river, just to prove that I'm a man.
Spend the day bein' lazy, just bein' nature's friend.
Climb a long tall hick'ry. Bend it over, 'skinnin' cats.'
Playin' baseball with chert rocks, usin' sawmill slabs for bats.

Bridge:
Play some back-home, come-on music that comes from the heart.
Play something with lots of feelin', 'cause that's where music
has to start

Oh, play me some mountain music, like grandma and grandpa used
to play.
Then I'll float on down the river to a Cajun hideaway, hey hey.

Tag:
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music


3.Feels So Right

Lyrics:Randy Owen
Music:Randy Owen

Whisper to me softly three words upon my skin.
No one's near and listenin', so please don't say goodbye.
Just hold me close and love me.
Press your lips to mine.
Mm, feels so right, feels so right.

Lying here beside you, I hear the echoes of your sighs.
Promise me you'll stay with me and keep warm tonight.
So hold me close and love me.
Give my heart a smile.
Mm, feels so right, feels so right.

Your body feels so gentle and my passion rises high.
You're lovin me so easy.
Your wish is my command.
Just hold me close and love me.
Tell me it won't end.
Mm, feels so right, feels so right, feels so right.

Aw, you feel so right baby.


4.Old Flame

Written:Donny R.Lowery/Mac Mcanally

I saw you staring at each other.
I saw your eyes begin to glow.
An I could tell you once were lovers.
You ain't hidin' nothing that I don't know.

Chorus
There's an old flame buring in your eyes that tears can't drown
and make-up
can't disguise.
Now that old flame might not be stronger, but it's been burnin'
longer than
any spark I might have started in your eyes.

You said it ended when he left you.
You say your love for me is strong.
But those old mem'ries still upset you.
And Imight be a mem'ry before too long.

Chorus

There's an old flame burning in your eyes that tears...


5.Tennessee River

Lyrics:Randy Owen
Music:Randy Owen

I was born across the river in the mountains where I call home.
Lord, times were good there. Don't know why I ever roamed.

Chorus:
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man, we get together anytime
we can.
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man, we play together in
Mother Nature's
band.

Me and my woman's done made our plans on the Tennessee River,
walkin' hand in
hand.
Gonna raise a family, Lord settle down where peace and love can
still be
found.

Chorus

Oh, Tennessee River.

Chorus

Oh, Tennessee River.


6.Love in the First Degree

Lyrics:Jim Hurt/Tim Dubois
Music:Jim Hurt/Tim Dubois

I once thopught of love as a prison a place I didn't want to be.
So long ago I made a decision to be footloose and fancy free.
But you cam I was so tempted to gamble on love just one time.
I never thought I would get caught.
It seemed liek the perfect crime.

Chorus:
Baby, you left me defneseless.
I've only got one plea.
Lock me away inside of your love and throw away the key.
I'm guilty of love in the first degree.

I thought it would be so simple, like a thousand times before.
I'd take what I wanted and just walk away, but I never made it
to the door.
Now babe, I'm not beggin' for mercy.
Go ahead and throw the book at me.
If lovin' you's a crime, I know that I'm as guilty as a man can
be.

Chorus

Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

Chorus

Oh yeah. Love in the first degree.
Love in the first degree.
Love in the first degree.


7.40 Hour Week(For A Livin')

There are people in this country who work hard every day.
Not for fame or fortune do they strive.
But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay.
And it's time a few of them were recognized.

Hello Detroit auto workers, let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down
the line.
Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers, let me thank you for your
time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down
the line.

This is for the one who swings the hammer, driving home the
nail.
Or the one behind the counter, ringing up the sale.
Or the one who fights the fires, the one who brings the mail.
For everyone who works behind the scenes.

You can see them every morning in the factories and the fields.
In the city streets and the quiet country towns.
Working together like spokes inside a wheel.
They keep this country turning around.

Hello Kansas wheat field farmer, let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down
the line.
Hello West Virginia coal miner, let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down
the line.

This one is for the one who drives the big rig, up and down the
road.
Or the one out in the warehouse, bringing in the load.
Or the waitress, the mechanic, the policeman on patrol.
For everyone who works behind the scenes.
With a spirit you can't replace with no machine.

Hello America - let me thank you for your time!


8.Why Lady Why

Written:Teddy Gentry/Richard Scott

Why, lady, why, can't I leave you alone?
I try, lady, try, but the feeling's too strong.
You stay on my mind. Feel just like a fool.
Why, lady, why, can't I get over you?

Why, lady, why? It was easy before.
I try, lady, try, but it ain't easy no more.
To be on my way would be the best thing to do.
Why, lady, why, can't I get over you?

Why, lady, why, can't I leave you alone?
I try, lady, try, but the feeling's too strong.
To be on my way would be the best thing to do.
Why, lady, why, can't I get over you?

10.My Home's In Alabama

Lyrics:Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry
Music:Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry

Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home
I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs
Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line
Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night

Had to learn about the ladies; too young to understand
why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band
When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away
to some other guitar picker in some other late night place

Yeah, I held on to my music; I let the ladies walk away
took my songs and dreams to Nashville and then on to L.A.
Up to New York City, all across the USA
I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say (that my)

Chorus:
..home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred

What keeps me goin'? I don't really know.
can't be the money the Lord knows I'm always broke
could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood
when the people really love ya and let you know when it's good

Well I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please
I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me
and someday when I make it, when love finds a way
somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll just smile with pride
and say that my

Chorus
