Reply #84: Yep, Siegelman actually changed the state song to Stars Fell on AL when he took office. [View All]

and had it put on the tags in the space that said "Heart of Dixie" and it caused a great controversy as I'm sure you remember.

This is the Jimmy Buffet version and the one that is used in Alabama the most. Not many know that Jimmy Buffet is a native Alabamian and his sister lives not far from me and owns one of the coolest bar/restaurants ever! They are both great Liberals!

Here's the lyrics to the state song of AL:

For all the crooners and swooners wherever they may be!

Moonlight and magnolias, starlight in your hair
All the world a dream come true
Did it really happen, was I really there
Was I really there with you

We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama that night

I can't forget the glamour, your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night

Chorus:
I never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night

--Spoken:
"Alright, let's take it on down from Muscle Shoals through Decatur"
"Mmmm, Birmingham, ooh Montgomery"
"Right up over Spanish Fort into Mobile, my hometown"
"Mister T..."

Chorus:
I never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
Ah, stars fell on Alabama last night

--Spoken:
"One more time boys..."

Yes, we lived our little drama
We kissed on the dunes so white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night
