Goin' Back to Alabama Songtext
von Kenny Rogers

Going back to Alabama
Now that I′ve learned the thing too
Life with me ain't been so easy
But I′ve got some living yet to do

'Cause a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up, dust himself up
And start all over again, my friend

Some days, I didn't wanna wake up in the morning
My family and friends were all down on me
I tried to tell ′em where I was going
But they never saw the man I saw in me

Some folks called me a dreamer
Other folks left and called me a fool
All I ever wanted to be was a winner
′Cause I know a winner can never lose


'Cause a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up, and dust himself up
And start all over again

Yes, a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up, and dust himself up
And start all over again, my friend

′Cause a man who walks by the side of the road
He can turn himself around
He can pick himself up (pick himself up), and dust himself up (dust himself up)
And start all over again
I'm a man
I′m a man

You know a man who walks by the side of the road
He can turn himself around
He can pick himself up (pick himself up), and dust himself up (dust himself up)
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over again


You know a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up, and dust himself up
And start all over again

You know a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up, and dust himself up
And start all over again
You know a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
