By

On April 8, 2025

In Alabama, Classic Country

In the realm of country music, few bands have achieved the level of acclaim and commercial success as Alabama. Among their numerous chart-topping hits, “There’s No Way,” released in 1985, stands out not only for its melodic composition but also for its poignant lyrical content.

When “There’s No Way” reached No. 1 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart in May 1985, it became Alabama’s 16th straight No. 1 single in as many single releases. Its success can be attributed not only to its lyrical appeal but also to the band’s adeptness at connecting with their audience on an emotional level. The song’s popularity solidified Alabama’s status as one of the preeminent forces in country music during the 1980s.

About Alabama

Alabama was the group that made country bands popular again. Emerging in the late ’70s, the band had roots in both country and rock. The band formed in Fort Payne, Alabama, in 1969. The band was founded by Randy Owen (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and his cousin Teddy Gentry (bass, backing vocals). They were soon joined by another cousin, Jeff Cook (lead guitar, fiddle, and keyboards). Alabama’s biggest success came in the 1980s, where the band had over 27 number one hits, seven multi-platinum albums and received numerous awards. The band has over 41 number one country records on the Billboard charts to their credit and have sold over 75 million records, making them the most successful band in country music history. Alabama was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2019 and was awarded with the first ever Life Time Achievement Award from this institution.

There’s No Way Lyrics

As I lay by your side and hold you tonight
I want you to understand
This love that I feel is so right and so real
I realize how lucky I am
And should you ever wonder if my love is true
There’s something that I want to make clear to you

There’s no way I can make it without you
There’s no way that I’d even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn’t last a day
Oh, babe, there’s no way

It means so much to me whenever I see
That ‘wanting me look’ in your eyes
I don’t know how I could do without
Holding you close every night
I’ve waited so long just to have you to hold
Now that I’ve got you
I’ll never let go

There’s no way I can make it without you
There’s no way that I’d even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn’t last a day
Oh, babe, there’s no way

I never knew until you
What I was missing
Now you say “Forever”
I find my heart, it’s listening
Yes, I’m listening

There’s no way I can make it without you
There’s no way that I’d even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn’t last a day
Oh, babe, there’s no way

Baby, there’s just no way

High Cotton Lyrics

We didn’t know the times were lean,
Round our house the grass was green,
It didn’t seem like things were all that bad,

I bet we walked a thousand miles,
Choppin’ cotton and pusing plows,
And learnin’ how to give it all we had.

As Life went on and years went by,
I saw the light in daddy’s eye,
And felt the love in mamma’s hands,
They kept us warm and kept us fed,
Taught us how to look ahead,
Now lookin’ back I understand.

We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

When Sunday mornings rolled around,
We dressed up hand-me-downs,
Just in time to gather with the church,
Some times I think how long It’s been,
And how it impressed me then,
It was the only day my daddy wouldn’t work.

We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

Walkin’ in High Cotton

Just a Closer Walk With Thee Lyrics

Just a closer walk with thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily walking close to thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

Oh, I am weak but thou strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long
Oh, as I walk, let me walk, close to thee (I’ll go on)

When my feeble life is o’er
In old time for me, will be no more
Well guide me gently, safely o’er
To thy kingdom, to thy shore, to thy shore

Oh, just (just a closer walk) a closer walk with thee
(Just a closer walk, just a closer walk)
Oh, grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily (daily walking) walking close to thee
Oh, let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be

Just (just a closer walk) a closer walk with thee
(Just a closer walk)
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily walking close to thee (daily walking close to thee)
Let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be
Oh, let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be

How Do You Fall In Love Lyrics

How do you fall in love
When do you say “I do”
When is the perfect time
To spend the rest of your life
Now seasons may come and go
Sometimes it rains and snows
And there will be highs and lows
So only you will know.

You never know just where it will find you
‘Cause it can come on you so fast
Or seems like it takes forever
When you want it so bad
But don’t ever take it for granted
‘Cause it’s more than sowing some seeds
It takes sun and water
So give it what it needs.

That’s how you fall in love
That’s when you say “I do”
That’s when you know its time
To spend the rest of your life
Now seasons may come and go
Sometimes it rains and snows
And there will be highs and lows
So only you will know
And there will be highs and lows
So only you will know…

Feels So Right Lyrics

Song by Alabama

Whisper to me softly
Breathe words upon my skin
No one’s near and listening
So please don’t say goodbye
Just hold me close and love me
Press your lips to mine
Mmm feels so right, feels so right

Lying here beside you
I hear the echoes of your sighs
Promise me you’ll stay with me
And keep me warm tonight
So hold me close and love me
Give my heart a smile
Mmm feels so right, feels so right

Your body feels so gentle
And my passion rises high
You’re loving me so easy
Your wish is my command
Just hold me close and love me
Tell me it won’t end
Mmm feels so right, feels so right

Feels so right

Ah, you feel so right baby

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Alabama

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
And oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
To everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful?
Or who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Ooh
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden?
Encumbered with a load I’ve carried
Precious Savior still I refuge, hmm
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
‘Cause in His arms
He’ll take and shield you
Thou will find no solace there

Oh, take it to the Lord in prayer
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Mountain Music Lyrics

Song by Alabama

Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I’ll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway

Drift away like Tom Sawyer
Ride a raft with ol’ Huck Finn
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle
Daze dreamin’ again

Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I’ll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway

Swim across the river
Just to prove that I’m a man
Spend the day bein’ lazy
Just bein’ nature’s friend

Climb a long tall hick’ry
Bend it over, skinnin’ cats
Playin’ baseball with chert rocks
Usin’ sawmill slabs for bats

Play some back-home, come-on music
That comes from the heart
Play somethin’ with lots of feelin’
‘Cause that’s where music has to start

Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I’ll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway, hey, hey!

Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play (yee-haw!)
