[Verse 1]
Lord, what possessed me to ever say yes
To living a life of concrete and stress?
If I'm not careful I could forget
My fondest memories of all the things I left
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I didn’t even realize
I had a little bit of paradise
[Chorus]
Alabama moon
Shinin' in my baby's hair
Alabama moon
Shoulda let it keep me there
[Verse 2]
It cut through my windows when I was a kid
And it told me to come outside and that’s just what I did
Lit up the footpath that I followed down
To your daddy's fenceline and the blanket on the ground
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I never even heard the baby cry
But I can see her in a starry sky
[Chorus]
Alabama moon
Shinin' in my baby's hair
Alabama moon
Shoulda let it keep me there
[Instrumental]
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I didn't even realize
I had a little bit of paradise
[Chorus]
Alabama moon
Shinin' in my baby's hair
Alabama moon
Shoulda let it keep me there
[Outro]
Oh that Alabama moon
Well it's shinin’ in my baby’s hair
That Alabama moon
Shoulda let it keep me there
