Alabama Tonight
written by
Delbert McClinton

It sure is cold tonight
out here on this highway
And my mind is on someone warm
and far away
Although it's been all wrong,
I know I'd make it right
If I could be in Alabama tonight

I'd take her to that place we used to go
Yeah, and we'd dance to that ol' jukebox
just once more
I'd hold her close till the morning light
If I could be in Alabama tonight

That old moon would put a shine on
This ol' faded love of hers and mine
And I can't help but feel
That everything would be alright
If I could be in Alabama tonight

Chicago ain't no place to be alone
And this old storm here in my heart
just keeps raging on
But I know what to do to make it right
I think I'll make a call to Alabama tonight

about

John Greene Music Falmouth, UK

John Greene's music is a reflection of his turbulent, non-conformist life and is based on early rock and roll, the pop explosion of the 60’s, the blues and many things Americana.
Best described as ‘Hard Country’, it lives in the space also occupied by the likes of Neil Young and the Grateful Dead. It always involves his unique viewpoint on the world he has lived in and the troubles we all share.
