[Verse 1]
Somewhere out in Texas, somewhere west of Abilene
Empty bottles, Copenhagen cans, and pumpkin seeds
Highway lines and stars at night as far as you can see
Every stop we're switching off so we don't fall asleep

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh we start talking 'bout the things we're missing
Oh yeah we can both agree

[Chorus]
That sometimes it's Alabama
Good friends and family
Sometimes it's chasing country songs
Up there in Tennessee
Sometimes it's a mix of everything
But it's mostly just a girl from Mississippi

[Verse 2]
There's a feeling that you can't explain
Your name on a marquee sign
The looks on all their faces when the song is hittin' just right
Every night at closing time there's something on our mind

[Chorus]
And sometimes it's Alabama
Good friends and family
Sometimes it's chasing country songs
Up there in Tennessee
Sometimes it's a mix of everything
But it's mostly just a girl from Mississippi
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh livin' out the words we're singing
Oh yeah it don't change a thing

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's Alabama
Good friends and family
Sometimes it's chasing country songs
Up there in Tennessee
Sometimes it's a mix of everything
But it's mostly just a girl from Mississippi
