Abe Partridge - Young Love Alabama Skies

                [Intro]
G  F  G  C  G

[Verse]
G                            F  G
We were young and in love in Alabama
G                                     C      C7
But it wasn't Birmingham, it wasn't Mobile
               G        F               G
And so we were nowhere, dreamers with a blank stare
G                                 C      G
Running lost highways through the cotton fields


[Verse]
G                                            F             G
You'd slide over on my bench seat and make a joke and poke fun at me
G                                             C      C7
Just because I kept a Bible on the dash of my truck
                G                    F           G
It ain't that I read it much, it was really just there for looks
G                                            C          G     G7
And young love on lost highways, you know we needed the luck


[Chorus]
G7               F                            G
'Cause isn't it something how young love can turn to nothing
                    F                        C     C7
If you add a little distance and time passеs by?
                       G                    F               G
So I said, "Let's get affectionatе, like it says in the New Testament"
G                                   C                     G        C G
And we were laughing at tomorrow and grinning through the night


[Verse]
G                                             F            G
Do you remember when we'd wander, Go floating down the Escatawpa?
G                                          C       C7
We wasn't really doing nothing but passing time
                     G                  F                 G
And running from the knowledge you were soon to leave for college
G                                      C            G    G7
And splashing on the creek banks and I tried not to cry


[Chorus]
G7               F                            G
'Cause isn't it something how young love can turn to nothing
                    F                        C     C7
If you add a little distance and time passеs by?
                       G                    F           G
It's a shame we had to grow up and couldn't stay in the moment
G                       C                     G
When our days were long and our passions were high


[Instrumental]
G F G C G


[Verse]
G                                          F             G
Well, I helped your daddy move ya into the dorms in Tuscaloosa
G                                               C     C7
"You better not forget me", you whispered in my ear
                       G                 F              G
I couldn't smile, so I faked it, we both knew I'd never make it
G                                    C          G     G7
Even if I found the money to come to see you up here


[Chorus]
G7               F                            G
'Cause isn't it something how young love can turn to nothing
                    F                        C     C7
If you add a little distance and time passеs by?
                  G                   F               G
But I always will remember the summer that we spent together
G                        C                  G
And them innocent nights 'neath the Alabama skies
