You looked real calm as we made our way up the walk

There were lazy kisses, hands brushing and small talk

The moon was high, your smooth face was dry and the

kudzu.... grew

and the stars fell on alabama

and your eyes filled up with lightning

and the stars fell on alaba- ma

The warm earth underneath us gave way

dry grass crinkled like paper as a breeze came in across the bay

cold clean water nearby

glimmered in your eyes

and your pistol (glistened)

and the stars fell on alabama

and your eyes filled up with lightning

and the stars fell on alaba- ma

but if you think I'll take a bullet for you, you're dreaming!
