Lyrics


1. NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON MOTHER EARTH

When she's on her best behavior
Don't be tempted by her favours

Never turn your back on mother earth

Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that looked so smooth to me

Never turn your back on mother earth

Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing

Never turn your back on mother earth

Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings a quick return to my friends
To my friends

Never turn your back on mother earth

I'll admit I was unfaithful
But from now I'll be more faithful

Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never t urn your back on mother earth


2. ALABAMY RIGHT

Squeeze in between the lines
Hustle it's nearly five, hustle it's nearly five
They're coming with coupons they're coming with kids
All hungry, pretty soon they'll need to be fed

And they'll Alabamy right around the register
It sure looks good to me
Alabamy milk and honey ev'rywhere

They're scaling the mountains of frozen delights
There's been an avalanche on aisle number nine
And they'll Alabamy right around the register
It sure looks good to me

No need to go miles to Hollywood or pretend that you're celestial
There's no waiting now on checkstand number eighteen
Squeeze in between the lines
Hustle it's nearly five, hustle it's nearly five

This place plays no fav'rites by day or by night
It will not be offended if you buy light
Just so you Alabamy right around the register
It sure looks good to me

Alabamy milk and honey ev'rywhere
It sure looks good to me
It sure looks good to me

It sure looks good to me
It sure looks good to me
It sure looks good to me
