Alabama
Cross Canadian Ragweed Lyrics

She picked up the telephone,
She answered the phone and held it to her ear.

All the heard was dial tone.
She didn't hear anyone on the other end, just the sound of a disconnected phone.

She really thought she'd heard it ring this time.
She was hoping it was the person she was thinking of calling her.

She said, "what am I thinking?
She questioned her own thoughts and feelings.

I must be only dreaming.
She felt like her thoughts were unrealistic or impossible.

Or maybe it's the hundred times he's crossed my mind just tonight."
She realized that she was thinking about this person a lot and couldn't stop.

Tossing and turning.
She couldn't sleep and was moving around in bed.

Her skins still burning
She still felt physically hot from her previous encounters with this person.

From the fire in his hands.
She associated the burning feeling with the touch of this person's hands.

Running on empty.
She felt emotionally drained and was out of options.

She needs somebody,
She wanted someone to be there for her and to talk to.

But somebody wouldn't understand.
She felt like no one would be able to relate to her situation or understand her feelings.

And the telephone rings.
The phone starts to ring again.

Talked about Savannah,
She and the person she's thinking about talked about a city named Savannah.

Sweet Home Alabama,
They also discussed a state, Alabama.

And how I miss the way she always smiled.
She missed the person's smile and presence.

Are you coming back soon
She wanted to know when this person would return.

By the harvest moon
She hoped that they would be reunited by a specific time of year, the harvest moon.

If I have to walk every mile on my knees.
She would do anything to be with this person again, even if it meant crawling on her knees for miles.

Now maybe I miss your loving.
She confirmed that she misses being loved by this person.

Maybe I miss your lips just a little bit.
She misses kissing this person.

Maybe I miss your body lying right next to mine.
She misses being physically close to this person.

Maybe I miss your touch a little too much.
She realizes that she misses the physical touch of this person more than she should.

A little too much.
She acknowledges that her feelings are stronger than she wants them to be.

A little too much.
She reiterates that her feelings are too intense.
