2nd verse

G Cadd9 G
i hung up the phone and i could feel the emptiness at 80 miles an hour .
Am D
and i listened close and i could hear my heart beating louder than the
G
tires .
G Cadd9
this old bus was headed west but my mind was drifting somewhere towards the
G
south .

Am Cadd9 D
and i closed my eyes and i could see the bright lights shining clearly
G
through the clouds .

( chorus )

Cadd9 D G
cause god put stars in alabama . you just cant find in tennessee .
Am D
the same ones are waiting on you . that taught you how to dream .
Cadd9 D G
i know theres big names up in nashville . and youll be one before too long .
Am G
but god put stars in alabama . to help you find your way back home .

Am
yeah , theres stars in alabama . ( pause ) that just cant wait til you get
G
home .
