Hank Williams Jr. - All In Alabama Lyrics






I just had to show 'em
I didn't need 'em.
And so I headed out west to see some old friends of mine.
I thought if I'd climb up old Ajax Mountain,
Maybe that would help me get it all off my mind.

I made it up to the top,
Picked out a clear spot,
I thought a whole lot
About the rest of my life.
I had no idea then,
Soon it would nearly end.
Up on this mountainside,
I would nearly die.

And they're all in Alabama.
And they're all in Dixieland.
God, I'm dying here in Montana, please Lord,
I just want to go back to hold her hand.
Just let me get back to my old homeland.

They said I'd never sing again.
I learned a lot about my friends.
'Cause when you're shot down and out,
You don't get many calls.
But I saw some tears in some eyes,
Soon my poor old mother would die,
I nearly lost it all,
When I lost my grandpa.

But you can find us all in Alabama.
Yeah, we're all down in Dixieland.
I didn't die out in Montana, no Lord.
You let me get back to my old homeland,
And I'm gonna hold on to her hand.

I've done a whole lot of searchin'
A whole lot of hurtin'
Before I finally found my road in life.
You gotta say things you wanna say.
Go on and do things your own way.
And you can climb any old mountain
Once you make up your mind.

I made mine in Alabama.
And I found mine down in Dixieland.
I didn't die out in Montana, no Lord.
You let me get back to my old homeland.
And I'm gonna hold on to her hand.

  32. P.... S....

    I 1st heard this song in 1980 and played it at a concert and everyone was blown away when I told the audience that this song was a Hank Williams Jr. No one didn't know much of him, not anymore.

  33. M.... B....

    A blessing in disguise. That fall off the mountain gave us the Bocephus look we all know and love. He wouldn't have went as far without that outlaw look and we all know it. You gotta admit, he looked pretty plain before that... a blessing in disguise. Hat and shades and beard and all

    M.... B....

    @Johnny Reb I agree.  I think he kind of looked like his dad before the accident.  After the fall, he really finally had his own identity.  Though I am surprised he was not a bigger star before.  I loved his early songs.  But nothing like the Bocephus of the later 70's and 80's.

  34. R.... H....

    Roll Tide Roll

  35. C.... H....

    Smoked pounds of pot to this one

  48. M.... B....

    I recently had to move away from the Pensacola,Fl/Mobile,Alabama area for a job after living there the first 41 years of my life. Unfortunately there is no place in the world that compares to that region or all of the deep South for that matter. If you are blessed enough to live anywhere in Dixieland don't take it for granted because I have been all across America and I promise the great people, places,food,culture , climate and Southern hospitality are unique and rare. I miss it more than life itself. Hold on to it.

  83. C.... W....

    Bocephus for President!

  84. c.... t....

    LIVE IN GA BUT LOVE BAMA.

  85. D.... K....
