I just had to show 'em I didn't need 'em
And so I headed out west to see some old friends of mine
I thought if I'd climb up old Ajax Mountain
Maybe that would help me get it all off my mind
I made it up to the top picked out a clear spot
I thought a whole lot about the rest of my life
I had no idea then soon it would nearly end
Up on this mountainside I would nearly die
And they're all in Alabama
And they're all in Dixieland
God I'm dying here in Montana please Lord
Just wanna go back to hold her hand
Just let me get back to my old homeland
They said I'd never sing again I learned a lot about my friends
Cause when you're shot down and out you don't get many calls
But I saw some tears in some eyes soon my poor old mother would die
And I nearly lost it all when I lost my grandpa
But you can find us all in Alabama
Yeah we're all down in dixieland
I didn't die out in Montana no Lord
You let me get back to my own homeland
And I'm gonna hold on to her hand
I've done a whole lot of searching a whole lot of hurtin'
Before I finally found my road in life
You got to say things you wanna say go on and do things your own way
And you can climb any old mountain once you make up your mind
And I made mine in Alabama...
