Gene Mitchell Sweet Alabama Smile lyrics

Verse 1
I have traveled all around the world
Had the chance to meet so many girls
Some were lovers, some good friends
Some there was no chance of making amends
A lifetime of loves gone wrong
So I finally made my way back home

Verse 2
To the land where chicken is fried
Butter beans, cornbread and homemade pecan pie
Magnolia blossoms, high in the trees
Guess you can no longer call me the breeze
Now I'm finally doing so well
Since I met me a pretty, sweet Southern Belle

Chorus
She works magic on my mind
I know I've found the right girl this time
She captures me with her slow southern style
And she melts my heart, with her sweet Alabama smile

Verse 3
Work all week, then on Friday night
It's a low cut top and her jeans fitting tight
We dance all evening, then come last call
She whispers in my ear with her southern drawl
She says I think it's time to go home
We can finish this dance when we're all alone

Chorus
She works magic on my mind

I know I've found the right girl this time
She captures me with her slow southern style
And she melts my heart, with her sweet Alabama smile

Bridge
When she touches me, I mold like soft red clay
I'm sticking to her, I won't go away
I'm not just hanging around for awhile
She's got me forever with her sweet Alabama smile

Instrumental

Verse 4
After church on Sunday afternoon
Family's all gathered, dinner's on soon
On our hands, there are two wedding rings
Family, that's the most important thing
The world is a very big place
But I was born in the South, and right here I will stay

Chorus
She works magic on my mind
I know I've found the right girl this time
She captures me with her slow southern style
And she melts my heart, with her sweet Alabama smile
Tag
She melts my heart with her sweet Alabama smile
Her sweet, sweet Alabama smile
