Abe Partridge - Young Love (Alabama Skies) Lyrics

[Verse 1]We were young and in love in AlabamaBut it wasn't Birmingham, it wasn't MobileAnd so we were nowhere, dreamers with a blank stareRunning lost highways through the cotton fields[Verse 2]You'd slide over on my bench seat and make a joke and poke fun at meJust because I kept a Bible on the dash of my truckIt ain't that I read it much, it was really just there for looksAnd young love on lost highways, you know we needed the luck[Chorus]'Cause isn't it something how young love can turn to nothingIf you add a little distance and time passеs by?So I said, "Let's get affectionatе, like it says in the New Testament"And we were laughing at tomorrow and grinning through the night[Verse 3]Do you remember when we'd wander, go floating down the Escatawpa?We wasn't really doing nothing but passing timeAnd running from the knowledge you were soon to leave for collegeAnd splashing on the creek banks and I tried not to cry[Chorus]'Cause isn't it something how young love can turn to nothingIf you add a little distance and time passes by?It's a shame we had to grow up and couldn't stay in the momentWhen our days were long and our passions were high[Instrumental Break][Verse 3]Well, I helped your daddy move ya into the dorms in Tuscaloosa"You better not forget me", you whispered in my earI couldn't smile, so I faked it, we both knew I'd never make itEven if I found the money to come to see you up here[Chorus]'Cause isn't it something how young love can turn to nothingIf you add a little distance and time passes by?But I always will remember the summer that we spent togetherAnd them innocent nights 'neath the Alabama skies
