Alabama Moon
Truck Stop Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitz hier im Lonely Heart Cafe
Die Seele brennt, das Herz tut weh
Der Mann, der vor Gefühlen flieht
Hat dich noch immer lieb

Hielt deine Nähe nicht mehr aus
Flog in die große Freiheit raus
Hier sind die Highways endlos weit

So wie meine Einsamkeit

Alabama Moon wär so gern zuhause
Alabama Moon wie gern wär ich bei ihr
Alabama Moon sehnsucht kennt keine Pause
Sag mir was soll ich tun, oh Alabama Moon

Viel zu lange on the Road
Die Highway glüht im Abendrot
Ich tauch in alte Träume ein
Wär so schön bei dir zu sein

Alabama Moon wär so gern zuhause
Alabama Moon wie gern wär ich bei ihr
Alabama Moon sehnsucht kennt keine Pause
Sag mir was soll ich tun, oh Alabama Moon

Trägt sie den goldenen Ring noch immer
Frag ich den Silbermond
Warum wird Sehnsucht immer schlimmer
Und Liebe nie belohnt?

Alabama Moon, sehnsucht kennt keine Pause

Sag mir was soll ich tun, oh Alabama Moon
Sag mir was soll ich tun, oh Alabama Moon

Overall Meaning

The verses of Truck Stop's "Alabama Moon" describe a lonely truck driver sitting in the "Lonely Heart Cafe" with a burning soul and aching heart. He is fleeing from his own emotions and remembers the woman he loves who he couldn't bear to be near anymore. He left for the freedom of the road where the highways are endless but so is his loneliness. He longs to be back home with her but doesn't know what to do. The chorus repeats the title phrase "Alabama Moon" and the yearning of the singer for his lover to be by his side. The bridge suggests that he is still in love with her but is unsure if she still wears the golden ring he gave her. He wonders why his yearning for her only intensifies when love is never truly rewarded.

The song's lyrics evoke the romance of the open road and the pain of being separated from the ones we love. The metaphor of the "Alabama Moon" evokes a certain nostalgia and longing that is universal. The song's use of the German language suggests it was written and composed for a European audience, where country music has a significant following.
