Текст пісні
There's a lasting impression forever in my mind
A mental picture of a place that I call home
And whenever this big city starts to move too fast
I can kick off these shoes and flip it on
I see a white farmhouse and a flatbed truck
And an old barn filled with winter hay
And the barge out in the channel takes its own sweet time
By tonight he'll be a hundred miles away
I can float across the river, wade on up the creek
Walk on down a country road just killin' time
No matter where I go I'll always be
In an Alabama state of mind
I can still smell the dirt of a new plowed field
Watch the sun set on the river till it's gone
And all God's creatures come alive on a moonlit night
And make a joyful noise all of their own
And on a laid back summer Sunday after church
Kinfolk come around to visit for a while
And I can almost taste what's on my plate
Sunday dinner cooked up southern style
I can float across the river, wade on up the creek
Walk on down a country road just killin' time
No matter where I go I'll always be
In an Alabama state of mind
If you catch me in a daydream you will know that I'm
In an Alabama state of mind
