Loading...

[verse 1]
learned to shoot where they dammed up the river
buried the farm back before my time
and now there’s nothin’ left from a young boy’s memory
but a flag stop and a five and dime

[verse 2]
daddy jack, he liked a cold coca+cola
last request on his dyin’ bed
you know that old boy lived to d+mn near a hundred
but i never did figure what was in his head

[chorus]
oh, fare thee well, east alabama
did you leave, or did i let you go?
was i meant to stay or made for the leavin’?
either way, i think we’ll nеver know

[verse 3]
brother lihue, hе played on the fiddle
and drove a mule back in ’29
you know he died bleedin’ on a farmhouse table
but he left the world with an easy mind

[verse 4]
and gerald ray, you know he carried him a pistol
.22 revolver on his hip
in seven ought years in tallapoosa county
and he never did once let the trigger slip
[chorus]
so fare thee well, east alabama
did you leave, or did i let you go?
was i meant to stay or made for the leavin’?
either way, i think we’ll never know

[verse 5]
kin folk in a hardpan graveyard
up in the cut off of dudleyville road
the only soil i could say that i come from
but ain’t nowhere i can go back home

[bridge]
learned to shoot where they dammed up the river
buried the farm back before my time

[chorus]
so fare thee well, east alabama
did you leave, or did i let you go?
was i meant to stay or made for the leavin’?
either way, i think we’ll never know
oh, fare thee well, east alabama
did you leave, or did i let you go?
was i meant to stay or made for the leavin’?
either way, i think we’ll never know
