Alabama is a country music band from Fort Payne, Alabama that was started in 1969 but did not get a recording contract until 1977. Alabama began by singing for tips around Myrtle Beach before going on to sell millions of records. They were among the first successful country groups since the mid-1970s, thanks to their blend of contemporary and traditional country and southern rock. On July 4-93 they opened a $7-million, 2,200-seat theater, located in Barefoot Landing-Myrtle Beach South Carolina. The members of Alabama are: - Randy Owen (vocals and rhythm guitar) - Teddy Gentry, (vocals and bass guitar) - Jeff Cook (lead guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, fiddle, banjo, and mandolin) - Mark Herndon (drums and percussion) Along with the Oak Ridge Boys and the Statler Brothers, Alabama is recognized as having paved the way for today's top country groups, including Diamond Rio, Lonestar and Rascal Flatts.

Close Enough To Perfect Lyrics

Alabama

Sometimes her morning coffees way too strong
And sometimes what she says she says all wrong
Heaven knows shes not an angel but shed really like to be
And thats close enough to perfect for me
Now shes been known to wear her pants too tight
And drinking puts her out just like a light
Right or wrong shes there beside me like only a friend
Would be
And thats close enough to perfect for me
Chorus:
She kisses me each morning
And smiles her sleepy smile
And she dont have to say it
I can see it in her eyes
Dont you worry about my woman
Or what you think she ought to be
cause shes close enough to perfect for me
Well sometimes she gets down and starts to cry
But then again a woman has a right
Shes everything I ever wanted and all Ill ever need
Shes close enough to perfect for me
