ALANA (Gabe Zander/BMI) 2003

(honky-tonk beat)

                C                              Am
Well, I've been working in the city, where the sunsets ain't as pretty
        F                              C              G
As they were from up the mountain, overlookin' my hometown,
    C                            Am
And dreamin' about a lady, whose body drove me crazy,
      D                                      G
Whose smile could make my heart race, and my whole world come unwound,
      C                                     F
But I left here there, up in the sticks, to go to town and get my kicks,
    Am                                 D             G
But after her, these city chicks ain't even worth my time,
           C                           Am
And I'd be holding her tonight, but my judgement wasn't right;
        F                G          C
Now I'm all alone, with Alana on my mind.

(break)

Well, I left her on the mountain; I wonder if she knows I'm countin'
The months, the weeks, the days till I can be back by her side;
Sure, we write each other letters, but kissing her'd be better;
I told myself I'd find another, but ya know what? I guess I lied,
And now there's no way out, it seems; I wake at night, and my heart screams
Out for the girl of my dreams, I went and left behind,
And I'd be holding her tonight, but my judgement wasn't right;
Now I'm all alone with Alana on my mind.

I'd be holding her tonight, but my judgement wasn't right;
Now I'm all alone with Alana on my mind.
