transients - Alabama Chrome Lyrics

Fightin' down in Gainsville 'gainst the the confederacy
Brothers on the south side, firin' across at me
Shot straight through, now they are, shipping me back home
Fixin' me together with that Alabama Chrome

I'm holding it together, fadin' at the seams
Bullet holes in my jacket, rips in my jeans
And these old boots they're worn right through
Right down to the bone
Patchin' up them holes with that Alabama Chrome

Johnny's on the highway, fire burnin' through his soul
Car's shakin' on the turnpike, it rattles as it rolls
Three more hours of daylight, till the car it brings him home
Thank the boys in Detroit and that Alabama Chrome

I'm holding it together, fadin' at the seams
Bullet holes in my jacket, rips in my jeans
And these old boots they're worn right through
Right down to the bone
Patchin' up them holes with that Alabama Chrome

Alabama, Alabama
