Alabama 'Shine

There's a red dirt road in Crenshaw County
That I speed down every Saturday night
I turn the radar on so I can be gone
In a cloud of dust and a flash of light

Alabama 'shine, 'shine, 'shine
At your back door
The moon is bright
I got my four on the floor
Roll on tide, roll on
Listen to the engine roar
Cross the county line
Alabama 'shine

There's a man from Montgomery. he's been looking for me
Like he did my Grandad back in '33
He wants to steal the lightning and make us pay
What little we got he wants to take away

I tried hard to change but didn't know how
The dirt's too poor and I'm too proud
Now I'm on the run but I'm still free
'Cause the heart of Dixie is beating in me
