People ask me when I'm gonna move to Nashville
I say I don't believe I ever will
Got all the huntin' I can do in Talladega
And all the fish that I can catch in Guntersville
Have you ever climbed on top and seen a whole mountain?
Watch the blue sky fadin' with the sun?
You've seen the moonlight sound on the valley and the pine
You'd understand where I'm comin' from
I've got too much 'Bama in me
I've got red dirt in my blood
I'm a branch out of the Southland
And I thank the Lord above
I was born in the heart of Dixie-land
Where the yellow hammer flies
I've got too much 'Bama in me and I won't apologise
(Yes Sir!)
Now I've had myself a time in Tuscaloosa
Had some litres out in Muscle Shoals
Now I'd love to head on back to Sylacauga
Maybe cap out where the Coosa River flows
But I got friends that live in California
They ask me why I never come to stay
Well they all just can't understand how I can be a happy man
When I'm livin' out two thousand miles away
I've got too much 'Bama in me
I've got red dirt in my blood
I'm a branch out of the Southland
And I thank the Lord above
I was born in the heart of Dixie-land
Where the yellow hammer flies
I've got too much 'Bama in me and I won't apologise
I've been all across this big ol' country
And I've seen it all from sea to shinin' sea
Now were livin' in the land of American honey
And I have found the sweetest spot for me
(Woo!)
I've got too much 'Bama in me
I've got red dirt in my blood
I'm a branch out of the Southland
And I thank the Lord above
I was born in the heart of Dixie-land
Where the yellow hammer flies
I've got too much 'Bama in me and I won't apologise
I was born in the heart of Dixie-land
Where the yellow hammer flies
I've got too much 'Bama in me and I won't apologise
