Jamey Johnson - Stars In Alabama Lyrics
I said, "Mama don't you worry, I'm getting by just fine out on the road.
Yeah, tonight we played in Knoxville and tomorrow night it's back to Music Row.
No, I don't know when I'm coming home, Montgomery seems so very far away."
She said, "Boy, it wouldn't kill you none to look out past the bright lights on that stage.
The same ones are waiting on you. That taught you how to dream.
I know there's big names up in Nashville. And you'll be one before too long.
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home."
I hung up the phone and I could feel the emptiness at 80 miles an hour.
And I listened close and I could hear my heart beating louder than the tires.
This old bus was headed west but my mind was drifting somewhere towards the south.
And I closed my eyes and I could see the bright lights shining clearly through the clouds.
'Cause God put stars in Alabama. You just can't find in Tennessee.
She said, "There's big names up in Nashville. And you'll be one before too long.
But God put stars in Alabama. To help you find your way back home."
Yeah, there's stars in Alabama.
That just can't wait 'til you get home.

Jamey Johnson Stars In Alabama Comments
Go visit your mama every chance you get before it's too late. Alzheimer's took my mother's sharp mind several years ago - I still visit every chance I get, but she's not really there anymore.
Sure can relate.
I'm old now.......
I miss Ma and Dad.
Beautiful song.
Beautiful voice.
❤
Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas. I Love You All As I Have A Southern Soul.💖💖💖💖
this is probably my favorite Jamey Johnson song, and that says a lot since I like em all!
Mama in Mississippi is missing you -Come home....😢
My mom sent me this to get me back to Louisiana from Pennsylvania....
Great song
Wish they all were as good as this guy! Thank God for the special ones. Thank you Jamie!
This was my mommas favorite song
What an incredible voice, Truly there is no greater voice in "country" music today

Jamey Johnson I cant wait to see you in Louisville KY All the way from AL. I met you at the Regions Ballpark in June when you sang the National Anthem. I remember when Caleb Lee Hutchinson sang this on American Idol when he came in second and should have been first. No offense just personal opinion..!!!
Makes me think of my nephew, the older he gets the more I see his daddy. Once he was the best man I knew
His voice just gives me chills. Hes pure country.
# Brendakayeperry
Thank god this young artist ..sings country ,,.....he’s great ! Run that hick hop out of town!!!!
Spend time with your momma while she's here, some of us would give anything for one more day!!!!
Jamey is one good looking man. He also sings good
Barbour County, from Clayton, Baker Hill, to Eufaula , Love Your Music and REAL Country voice, SO much. In SC now, but once from Alabama, always from Bama. Saw you in Gaston SC “Cow Pasture” concert this month. Those damn honey bees almost stung me, on the fence line! Love ya man!
Those 68 dislikes can eat a dick
Thank you James Showacre ....God Bless you and keep all you Truckers Safe out there on those cold Highways ....
I can't wait to get back to Bama
Caleb Lee Hutchinson's cover brought me here
It's the words, brings you to that special place.
I never lived in alabama. My dad put this song on when we were drivin to las cruces and i loved it. I never really liked country, but this song is different
I lived in Las Cruces before!!
Jamey Johnson and Chris Stapleton is doin' a great job.....
Country songs like those good ol days.
I said, momma don't you worry
I'm gettin' by just fine out on the road
Yea tonight we play in Knoxville
And tomorrow night its back to music road
No I don't know when I'm coming home
Montgomery seems so very far away
She said boy it wouldn't kill you now
To look out pass the bright lights out on that stage
Cause god put stars in Alabama
You just cant find in Tennessee
The same ones are waiting on you
That taught you how to dream
I know there big names up in Nashville
And you'll be one before too long
God put stars in Alabama
To help you find your way back home
I hung up the phone and I could feel the emptiness at 80 mph
And I listen close and I could hear my heart beating louder than the tires
This old bus was headed west, but my mind was drifting somewhere toward the sun
And I close my eyes and I could see the bright light shining clearly through the clouds
Cause god put stars in Alabama
You just cant find in Tennessee
The same ones are waiting on you
That taught you how to dream
I know there big names up in Nashville
And you'll be one before too long
God put stars in Alabama
To help you find your way back home
Yea there stars in Alabama
That cant wait till you get back home
Jamey Johnson, the last hope for Country Music
I love Jamie Johnson.............mmmuuuaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This made me think of my momma. She died in March. Love you mom.
good god
No place like Ala.. love you Decatur...
Dothan..
Montgomery, Elmore, Alabama
Jeremy Rawlings Amen! RTR
Huntsville, just across the river
Sing that real country...love it!!
i dont im thirteen and this is all i listen to
Thank you for posting this it makes me homesick; it's a beautiful song. I'm a big fan and I hope to someday have the chance to see him in concert
Love Jamey Johnson!!!!
I just love this song
He is so great!
i am so in love with him and this song lol....ok i just really love this song
I listen to this because its where my Grandmother who I love with all my heart rests in peace. Now my Dad is finally with her.
Alabama born, Alabama bred, and when I die, I'll be Alabama dead
Same here from Tuscaloosa!
I love Jamey!
God put stars in Alabama you just can't find in Tennessee
hightailed
I don't write that shit I'm right here
jamey Johnson chris stapleton and Eric church the only three country singers I listen too
What about Hank 3, Sam Williams and Shooter
Chris knight is another
Hank, Willy, Waylon, Jones... what is wrong with you???
Jamey's good, so is Chris. Still, check out; Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Cody Jinks, Hank Williams III, Shooter Jennings, Lucas Nelson, Tyler Childers, Whiskey Myers, The White Buffalo, Whitey Morgan, Colter Wall, John Moreland, and a whole bunch more. Music, including Country Music, is alive and well, but it ain't on the radio.
REAL country music is not dead , just on commercial radio.
Born and Raised in Mobile,Alabama! Love my city & state! Roll Tide Roll!!
Fuck the tide
Stephen Wiggins Roll Tide brother. Born and raised across the bay in Foley. Now by way of Reno
You're a star. How did you you run below my radar?? Just love you now!!
one of my many favorites by this man love Ur music keep up the good job
I have been a truck driver for almost 20 yrs and it hits home to a trucker.
@Rodney Merriman same story with me. I'm 58 now and lost mom years ago while on a construction job . I often think of her.
Been a driver 18 years and 5 of those married to someone that just broke it to me she wanted someone else so this song rings true with me
@William Payne Stay safe & I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I hope things worked out between the two of you & if not it's her loss. No one works harder than our truckers. I was a proud truckers wife for 25 years until he got cancer from chemicals he hauled. He passed in 2016. Even though the job caused his death he & I both never stopped loving the truckers way of life.
@tammy parker yes maam sorry to hear about your husband maam
@William Payne Thank you
crying at 5:30 in the morning thinking about my little nephew we miss him so much.
I'm so sorry couldn't imagine. I got 2kbefews 13 18 there my knefews sons and best friends in one
Great song,thanks for sharing
jamey Johnson and Sturgill Simpson will save Country music!
lol you will not like what Sturgill just did...but it seems that Tyler Childers is taking his place
What's happening now is the same old "Nashville Sound" BS that tried to tell Waylon, Willie et al what to write, play and sing. It lasted for a while but gradually died. Thank God.
What we have today is Bubblegum country combined with country rap. Everybody is trying to sound like everybody else......It's CRAP! I suspect that even they know it. A few like Jamey are traveling their own road, and it's great to see and hear
as i travel up and down i65 i think of this song and my mother quite often ! thanks brother .bill
Got to love our Mamas, come back home!
i would pay big money to meet you buudy
I'm in fort benning, and I can't stand Georgia. Please send me back to bama...
Come home buddy...Rmft
I'm In Ga too, but I'm an Alabama girl all the way. Thank you Jamey for sharing your beautiful music with us.
Will Mann going back to the incest state eh?
Georgia is an awesome state. Take time an enjoy it man. Youll miss it when you leave
I remember when jamey and his cousin john and me would party in Auburn. We'd have us a blast drinking, smoking, and playing music til the sun came up. Long before he left to go to nashvagas!!! I saw him in Columbus, Ga two years ago. I couldn"t help but think ,he sure came a long way from Playing a the Struttin Duck. which is a bar on the edge of Auburn city limits. the owner burned it to the ground 4 years ago.
john orr must’ve been fun I bet Jamey knows how’s to get into trouble
Jewish lightning...lol
Ashley Monroe is smoking hot
Jamey Johnson the real deal
SUPER NICE SONG ROCKING GOOD
i'd love to hear a duet from jamie johnson and ashley monroe, the new king and queen of real country music, god bless you both and if you get the time come to england uk and tour, thanks, vern
This song always brings tears to my eyes. Makes me feel like hopping in the car and going to Alabama to see Momma.
HOPE YOU GET TO SEE YOUR MAMA SOON...TY
LanieB95 I'm not a bama girl but I am from Tenn and wish my mom was alive to go home and see
LanieB95 yep in Ga now but it makes me want to a trip back home to Alabama
LanieB95 go while you can.
Wish I go see my Momma one more time..
Don’t miss out on yours!
TEY in Bama
I am sooooo pleased that I found this guy, by accident, & had 3 cd's bought for me for Christmas. Thanks YouTube. have found some great singers/songs here.
people now days cant appreciate real country like jamey johnson im from the city and puerto rican but my heart is country love him
The packed house in Jacksonville did.
Brenda Claudio people don’t know what real music is anymore,it’s sad!
Amen #PuertoRicanstrong
miss my family and hometown sometimes, this song fills the gap like beer, god bless you jamey
I rarely listen to anything "new" when it comes to country music; however, I would say Jamey Johnson is keeping the "real" country sound alive.
There is a little hint of Vern Godsin in this song. Jamey is the real deal too.
IN YOUR DREAMS... The U has the most players in the NFL. Just add in the Gator Nation , The Seminoles , The FAU Owls and you will surely understand just how wrong you are.Florida also rocks the top of the muzic scene. Just because all you have is 2 college teams. AUBURN & Alabama We understand. We also have 9 Pro Teams.6or9 college teams. Now if we just had 2 college teams and all the talent went to them. We would be better than we already are.But hey hats off To Bama 4 winning National Titles!!
oohh true! the song is just OMG i love it Yeah and i use this to get it on your pod: bit.ly/12yNYf9?=itsts
I tell you what there may be better than Jamey Johnson but I sure in the hell don't know who it would be. Thanks Jamey now that George is gone we need more like you. Keep it up brother.
The very beginning of this song, the instrumental part before the words, sounds like another song by a female artist. I think it may be a duet. Can anyone help me with the title please?
i love your music Jamey! i just never get enough! ROLL TIDE
Such a beautiful song. I miss Alabama and I have never been there!
Country music needs more real country singers like you
Yep. But remember DAC --- the ultimate Southern Rebel-- came outta there. Get back down to Dixie soon brother.
Jamey Johnson is a Hell of a Writer,Singing Songs from The Heart! I've Weathered Many of Storms Rockin to Real Country Music,Keep it Up Johnson,We Need You Down Here.
I'm not a fan of new country but this makes me reconsider. Beautiful song.
Hell Yea ROLL TIDE ROLL
This makes me miss sweet home alabama something terrible.........I love Oklahoma but Alabama will always have such a special place in my heart as it made me who I am today, a strong southern woman who can make it anywhere because of what I learned back there. God Bless Alabama and oh yeah.........Roll Tide Roll
Love this......
Man this song hits home for an old road dog! Got 3 Beautiful little angels this road just won't seem to let me make it to.. do you spend forever chasing the things that will always be there and no time withe the ones who aren't? Life as an ironworker aint all its cracked up to be...
awesome song
Aaa,,, Jamey,, rode in,,,, now I ride on,
God put stars on the flag, You just cant find overseas, everyones waitin on you to come back to the states. I better not try to take jameys job
1 can't see stars at all. they are probably a fan of Justin Bieber LOL
Why cant our today "country" singers, sing songs like this? because what they sing isnt worth listening too!!!
God Blessed us Southern people. You drop me anywhere in my beloved South and i will do very well. Everywhere i have gone below the Mason Dixon. I always feel at home. My people are a gift to America and I am grateful to be counted among you. God Bless from TEXAS..The Lone STAR State....
You'all haven't never met any of us mountain folk from rural Washington,by no means let Seattle and the I-5 corridor represent the real folks,the loggers,farmers,truckers,and such out in this state,I liked loading apples with truckers from down south,we got more in common with them than the durned city folks in our own state.
@Emmysfan Too bad Jameys so under played hes a hell of a musician and an even better writer
can somebody send me the lyrics
My home is in ALABAMA and I wish I was there now
I aint from Alagodamnbama but this great song reminds me of the stars from back home that I miss while serving in the USAF around other parts of the planet.
