lyrics

She's driving out of Alabama
Because Alabama did her wrong
She's driving out of Alabama
Because it's time for getting gone
She's driving out of Alabama
And never going back again
She's driving out of Alabama
Because she's sick of old white men
Who'd rather die than try to understand
So Alabama goddamn

She's driving out of Alabama
Cause what they do and what they say
She's driving out of Alabama
Cause she don't want to live that way
She's driving out of Alabama
She's fed up and she's through
She's driving out of Alabama
Cause she don’t live in 1952
They want to turn the clock as far as they can
Alabama goddamn

She's driving out of Alabama
Because they took away her voice
She's driving out of Alabama
Cause they didn't give her any choice
She's driving out of Alabama
Cause she's afraid of getting shot
She's driving out of Alabama
Cause man why the hell not
And she's got her whole life ahead of her to plan
Alabama goddamn
