7.Alabama Sky
Lyrics:Larry Shell
Music:Larry Shell
I've seen him plow a field of corn all day.
That's reality.
His overalls are black with dirt, but his face is still full of
dignity.
He talks about the waether, and he can tell you when it's gonna
rain.
Told me 'bout the flood of twenty-nine that washed the crops
away.
Chorus:
Underneath that Alabama sky, Grandpa told me 'bout the things
he'd seen.
Underneath that Alabama sky, I listened to my Grandpa's
memories.
At times he mentions Grandma, turn his head and wipe away a
tear.
Sometimes we'd take her picture down and sit and pretend that
she's still
here.
Three girls and two boys he raised on love and simple honesty.
And when they fin'lly have to carry him away, they'll take a lot
of me.
Chorus
