[Verse 1] She said, I spent eight years in California Thats the reason why I talk the way I do But Ive heard how Southern men respect the ladies And Id like to meet a gentleman like you [Verse 2] Well, I spent most of my life in Alabama Thats the reason why I talk the way I do And Ive always had this thing for suntanned ladies And Id really like to spend some time with you [Chorus] And we walked on the beach til early morning And we watched as the sun came up again And somehow we both shared the feeling That wed just made a very special friend [Verse 3] Tomorrow Ill go back to Alabama And youll fly from Atlanta to L.A. And Ill get back to taking care of business And youll go back to starring on the stage [Chorus] But well think of the beach come Monday morning When both of us get back to push and shove And somehow we will always remember The night we shared a very special love [Verse 4] I spent most of my life in Alabama Thats the reason why I talk the way I do I know we shared a very special friendship The night we made a very special love [Instrumental Outro]
