Lyrics:

1989
Writer(s): Hank Cochran, Vern Gosdin, Mack Vickery

Take me home to Alabama
I've been gone much longer than I cared to be
Take me back to Alabama
Where the Heart of Dixie waits for me
And the Heart of Dixie beats for me

Too many years have passed since I've been home
And I don't know what's changed since I've been gone
Though I know it's just as beautiful as I recall
And I can hardly wait to see it all

Huntsville, to the moon, and Birmingham
To the white sandy shores of Alabam'
Ooh Alabama, the beautiful, where I was raised
And I don't know just what took me away

Take me home to Alabama
And let that sun and sunshine shine on me
Take me back to Alabama
Where the Heart of Dixie waits for me
And the Heart of Dixie beats for me

Take me home to Alabama
Where the Heart of Dixie waits for me
And the Heart of Dixie beats for me
