The cold December wind seems bent on rockin'' New York City

The town that''s got me down to my last dime

And everywhere I go, the people seem in such a hurry

To keep this Mobile girl from feelin'' fine

Chorus:



Lord, what I''d give to see an Alabama sundown

The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay

New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down

But that never was the Mobile way, no, no

That never was the Mobile way



A flashing sign says that you can rent a bed for just a dollar

In anybody''s town, that price is cheap

It''s a shame to know a girl would ever fall down to my standards

''Cause I need ninety cents to go to sleep



Repeat Chorus



I felt so big the day I left that Mobile couldn''t hold me

I thought there had to be a better way

But if I could find that man that first called Lady Luck a lady

That gentleman would surely learn to pray



Repeat Chorus Twice & Fade
