I wasn't so bad
23 it was time for me
Not to be
How did I get pushed into thinking
That my family'd be better off
Better off
In Alamo in Alabama - ma ma ma ma ma

It was only so good
Only five he only spoke when he was spoken to
Hadn't seen any of the cruel cruel world
Not a lesson learned
Or an angry word
Alamo in Alabama

This was supposed to be daddy's last night
Sonny I tried to tell you that I could not find the handle
When I'm gone i get way far gone
Safe to say that I'll be blowing out the candles
But I think I better leave one on

He just sat on the bed looking out
Hey daddy is that where we're going to
Yes sonny we're gonna get the hell out of wild weekend
Because maybe its better out there
On the verge of the edge
In the doorway by the ledge
The Alamo in Alabama

This was supposed to be daddy's last night
Sonny I tried to tell you that I could not find the handle
When I'm gone I get way far gone
Safe to say that I'll be blowing out the candles
But I think I better leave one on

I'm gonna leave you
I don't want to lead you on
I'm gonna leave you
I don't want to lead you on
I'm gonna leave you
I don't want to lead you on
I'm gonna leave you
I don't want to lead you on
