Nanci Griffith - Alabama Soft Spoken Blues lyrics

(Nanci Griffith - Maggie Graham) Southern man, you sure are pretty, Got a smile to still the city And Lord, you know, you got those sleepy eyes Alabama sweet-talking baby Calmed the heart of a lonely lady You kept me flying high And the leaving easy And it's Dallas in the rain And I was dreaming. October winds still blowing, Lord You know the song were flowing From a broken-hearted lady by the wayside Listen to my song You kept it ringing clean and strong You held me like an angel to confide in And I tried to make you home But I was dreaming. Lord, I guess you just ain't home That damned old telephone Is trying hard to help me find the lines here Wish that you could understand Why I love the other man He gives me truth and reason, I believe in. Alabama soft-spoken blues again Alabama soft-spoken blues again, Early morning fog is rolling in, Time for leaving. Alabama soft-spoken blues.
