Alabama Lyrics
She picked up the telephone, all she heard was dial tone
She really thought she heard it ring this time
She said, "What am I thinking, I must be only dreaming
Or maybe it's the hundred times he's crossed my mind just tonight?"
(chorus)
Maybe I miss your lovin'
Maybe I miss your kiss
Just a little bit
Maybe I miss your body lying right next to mine
Maybe I miss your touch
A little too much
Tossin' and turning, her skin's still burnin'
From the fire in his hands
Runnin' on empty, she needs somebody
But somebody wouldn't understand
Then the telephone rings
(repeat chorus)
They talked about Savannah, Sweet Home Alabama
And how he missed the way she always smiled
Are you coming back soon, by the harvest moon
If I have to walk every mile on my knees
(repeat chorus
She really thought she heard it ring this time
She said, "What am I thinking, I must be only dreaming
Or maybe it's the hundred times he's crossed my mind just tonight?"
Maybe I miss your kiss
Just a little bit
Maybe I miss your body lying right next to mine
Maybe I miss your touch
A little too much
From the fire in his hands
Runnin' on empty, she needs somebody
But somebody wouldn't understand
Then the telephone rings
And how he missed the way she always smiled
Are you coming back soon, by the harvest moon
If I have to walk every mile on my knees

I love this song, the meaning is pretty obvious. It's about either a couple who are apart long distance and they miss each other or it's about a couple who broke up but are now realizing they miss each other "a little too much." Good song, CCR rock.
I LOVE CCR.. this band is the best.. this song is just amazing, the CD is great..the meaning is clear.. its about missing the one you crave..
Totally love this song. To me, it's about long distance, since I'm in a long distance relationship right now, and that's about how I feel. There's nothing quite like the pain of wanting to be in the presense of the one you're in love with, of missing every part of that - even just "your body lying right next to mine". This definitely reminds me of my fiance and I.
I like the new version off of the soul gravy album of this song. This is how I want to feel when I'm in love, even if it's long distance. It's just a beautiful and passionate song. Let's hope Dierks Bentley sings more about this band in his next song. I heard about this band because of his song free and easy down the road I go when he sings ragweed's rocking on his radio. I'm disappointed in the lack of comments for them:( so sad, this band rocks.
this song is all about my sophomore year in hs. love it now and forever. ahb
