Alabama Haint

Ruined my favorite pair of jeans

Never looked up, love

I was in soil, on hands and knees

Covered in foxglove

I see 'em bow down when you sing

I heard the wind run

I saw your sundress start to cling

Color me turned on

I remember hoping you were everything

You were like lightning

You were the turn of the century

You were the reason, in hindsight

I woke up

Now whenever you're around

They're seeing you but I can't

You're an Alabama haint

My porch roof paint's blue

In a way

We're more or less through

In a way

Maybe hearsay's not a rumor

I can't stay, wish I'd left sooner

Dismayed I'm a later bloomer

Still, hey, I root for my future

I get interviewed by a friend

They wanna know how it ended

They wanna quiz me

Is this irreversible loss?

Are you gone?

Are you not?

I remember hoping you were everything

You were like lightning

You were the turn of the century

You were the reason, in hindsight

I woke up

Now whenever you're around

They're seeing you but I can't

You're an Alabama haint

My porch roof paint's blue

In a way

In a way

In a way
