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
