On the Chattahoochee River
Flow'n to the Gulf of Mexico
From your fall all the way
To the apple that you call the bay
Sound of children's laughter
Float'n cross the water
Takes me back to summer times with you
Long ago 'n' far away
On a dreamy Alabama day
Why did I ever leave you
Why do the four winds blow
How could I live a lifetime
And still not know
Does my memory betray me
Are you still as sweet as I recall
Does the moon still shine as bright
On a dreamy Alabama night
Why Did I ever leave you
Why do the four winds blow
How could I live a lifetime
And still not know
Alabama mansions
Crumbling traditions
Sunday school with dinner on the grounds
When the next chance comes around
I'll be dreamy Alabama bound
When the next chance comes around
I'll be dreamy Alabama bound
