Alabama

Alabama is a country music and southern rock band from Fort Payne, Alabama, United States.

Some folks looks through a telescope
And dream of flying high above the stars
They say it won't be long
'Til we can haul on a ship to Mars

I'm just a simple man
There's a lot that I don't know
But as long as you're here with me
I just assume stay home

On this side of the moon
Things are going my way
Your love keeps shining through
Even when it rains

There's nowhere else I'd rather be
I'm happy standing in these shoes
With you here in my life
The world is looking bright
On this side of the moon

Sometimes on a clear night
We pulled out a chair in the yard
And I'm always amazed
At the good lord can make so many stars

But I know I'd feel out of place
Longing through the milky ways
All you expect a astronaut
I'd think I'd rather stay

On this side of the moon
Things are going my way
Your love keeps shining through
Even when it rains

There's nowhere else I'd rather be
I'm happy standing in these shoes
With you here in my life
The world is looking bright
On this side of the moon
