Mobile's My Home

Verse 1

Well I could be a thousand miles away
On business or a fishin' trip vacay
Somebody says "Hey, where are you from?
We don't meet many who sound that way"

Well let me tell you 'bout Mobile
I love the way that they make you feel
At Wintzell's or the Bluegill
They bring that oysters parmesan

Followed up by gumbo
Shrimp and grits and a live string show
Keep 'em comin' and some key lime oh
We get the good times on
Mobile's my home

Verse 2

Well it looked like a Leprechaun to me
Away up high there in that tree
I swear I saw his eyes
That amateur sketch looked pro I think

Well let me tell you 'bout Mobile
Jimmy Buffett's gone and we're sad still
Did you know he was a student at McGill?
A little fact well known

And it's where the Mardi Gras began
And if you say it to New Orleans it makes 'em mad
'Cause it's a claim they think they have
They couldn't be more wrong
Mobile's my home

Bridge

If there's a hurricane we clean it up
And if the live oak lived we thank the Lord
And Dauphin Island beach is close enough
And Fairhope at night on the bluff
Just so I can see MOBILE all lit up!

Verse 3

Then I head back to Mobile
I love the way that they make you feel
Stop off the bay at the Bluegill
They bring that oysters parmesan

Followed up by gumbo
Shrimp and grits and a live string show
Keep 'em comin' and some key lime O'
We get the good times on!

Mobile's my home, Mobile's my home
And Hank Aaron's too
And the Red Clay Strays
And Walker Hayes
And Muscadine Bloodline's
And Wet Willie's too
So "Keep on Smilin'" you
And Excelsior's too!
