Alabama Haint

Ruined my favorite pair of jeans Never looked up love I was in soil, on hands and knees Covered in Foxglove I seen em' bow down when you sing I heard the wind run Saw your sundress start to cling Color me turned on I remember hoping you were everything You were like lightning You were the turn of the century You were the reason, in hindsight I woke up Now whenever you're around Seein' you, but I can't You're an Alabama haint Mmm-hmm-hmm My porch roof Paint's blue In a way (mmm-hmm-hmm) We're more or less through In a way (mmm-hmm-hmm) Maybe hearsay's not a rumor I can't stay, wish I'd left sooner Dismayed, I'm a later bloomer Still, hey, I root for my future I get interviewed by a friend They wanna know how it ended They wanna quiz me Is this irreversible loss? Are you gone? Are you not? I remember hoping you were everything You were like lightning You were the turn of the century You were the reason, in hindsight I woke up Now whenever you're around I'm seein' you but I can't You're an Alabama haint Mmm-hmm-hmm My porch roof paint's blue In a way (mmm-hmm-hmm) In a way (mmm-hmm-hmm) In a way
