Packed up the truck at the break of dawn
Heading down south with the radio on
She's there beside me hand in mine
To Alabama where the heartstrings twine
Small town roads, fields of gold
Stories from her past that she's never told
Her mama's house with a porch out front
Smell of turkey feelin' love in abundance
Thanksgiving in Alabama family all around
In the heart of Dixie new roots we've found
Her daddy tells tales by the firelight's glow
And I'm finding home in the love they bestow
Casserole dishes and sweet pumpkin pie
Laughter that echoes under the November sky
Her little brother's grin her sister's warm embrace
I see our future in each smiling face
Thanksgiving in Alabama, family all around
In the heart of Dixie new roots we've found
Her daddy tells tales by the firelight's glow
And I'm finding home in the love they bestow
As the stars come out and silence grows
She whispers welcome to where love flows
In her southern drawl soft and true
Alabama feels like home too
Thanksgiving in Alabama, family all around
In the heart of Dixie new roots we've found
Her daddy tells tales by the firelight's glow
And I'm finding home in the love they bestow
