lyrics

The name is Johnny Alabama
I come from Scranton, Arkansas
I'm lost and folly out in Oklahoma
Searching for a truer way back home

My drinking got a bit to heavy
Soon my gambling followed suit
I lost my money to a Cherokee man
Who spent it on a woman I called mine

My boots are scuffed
My lips are cracked
I ain't got no good intentions
I ain't never going back
To me now home is nothing but a memory
Some say is soon to fade with time

I think I'll head a bit further south
See what that gulf breeze is all about
The heat from Tulsa's grinning mouth
Will draw you in and sweat you out
Because tonight the sun is sinking in the south

I'll hop a train down to New Orleans
Where the coast line breaks to a dirty green
I'll meet a voodoo queen who'll smile but fail to do for me
Everything I need but don't desire

My boots are scuffed
My lips are cracked
I ain't got no good intentions
I ain't never going back
To me now home is nothing but a memory
Some say is soon to fade with time

about

Dylan Earl Fayetteville, Arkansas

I’m from where I woke up this morning. I write the songs that come to mind and struggle with the ones that don’t. I find humor in misconceptions and solace in laughter, love in the street and fire in the eyes of the marginalized. I prefer facts over alternate facts.
I’m here to shoot you straight, although sometimes I fire from the hip.
I’ll always love you.
~Dearl
