Alabama Clay

First time he saw the ground get busted

  • First time he saw the ground get busted
  • He was ten and it was 1952
  • His daddy worked hard from sunup to sundown
  • And the goin' got tough behind them ol' grey mules
  • The farm grew to be a moneymaker
  • And the house he lived in grew up room by room
  • The boy worked hard but soon got tired of farmin'
  • So he slipped away one night 'neath the harvest moon
  • His neck was red as Alabama clay
  • But the city's call pulled him away
  • He's got a factory job and runs a big machine
  • He don't miss the farm or the fields of green
  • Now the city's just a prison without fences
  • His job is just a routine he can't stand
  • And at night he dreams of wide open spaces
  • Fresh dirt between his toes and on his hands
  • Then one day a picture came inside a letter
  • Of a young girl with a baby in her arms
  • And the words she wrote would change his life forever
  • So he went to raise his family on the farm
  • His neck is red as Alabama clay
  • Now he's goin' home this time to stay
  • Where the roots run deep on the family tree
  • And the tractor rolls through the fields of green
  • His neck is red as Alabama clay
  • Now he's goin' home this time to stay
  • Where the roots run deep on the family tree
  • And the tractor rolls through the fields of green
  • His neck is red as Alabama clay
