Alabama Comin' Fast

I wrote this one one I-20 heading towards Alabama goin' about 10 over the posted speed limit and mentally working out some issues leftover from the previous month; I just couldn't get out of Mississippi fast enough.

You try driving with a piece of paper on the steering wheel with a pen in one hand. Every time I dotted an "i" HONK!

On second thought, don't try it.

(G) (D)
I can see Alabama comin' fast
(C) (A)
I just need to outrun these police
(G) (D)
I think about all these months past
(C) (A)
and drive more to find release
(G) (D)
I can imagine that you'll laugh
(C) (A)
when I tell this story again
(G) (D)
Don't wanna think, just wanna get back
(C) (A)
'Cause I can't express how it's been

{chorus}
(G) (D) (C) (G) (D) (A)
And, I thought that I saw you turnin' the corner in Birmingham
(G) (D)
drivin' away to the back of my mind
(G) (D) (C) (G) (D) (A)
And, I thought that I saw you place an order in Birmingham
(G) (D)
for an apartment in my mind

I can see Alabama comin' fast
but I'm runnin out of gas
I might get through 'fore noon
I'm just tryin' to drive on past
I can imagine that you'll smile
When I tell this story to you
'Cause it's been too long awhile
since I've been here with you

{repeat chorus}

Note: simple rock-pop with a bit of a driving rhythm to get the need for speed going.
