Goin' back to Alabama
Now that I've learned a thing or two
Life for me had 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 and dust himself off 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 call me a dreamer
Other folks laughed 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 off 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 off and start all over again
My friend
[ guitar ]
Cause a man who walks by the side of the road can turn himself around
He can pick himself up and dust himself off 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 can turn himself around
He can pick himself up and dust himself off and start all over
Start all over start all over again
[ guitar ]
You know a man who walks by the side of the road can turn himself around
He can pick himself up and dust himself off 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 off and start all over again
