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.

I've been goin' around in a whirlwind not knowing which way to go.
I've been lost in a jungle of heartaches looking for what I don't know
I've spread my wings and I've done some things that I never meant to do.
Its took me some time but I've made up my mind, I'm hanging up my travelin shoes.
Chorus:
Hangin' up my travelin shoes.
My runnin' around is all through.
I'm foldin' my wings up for you.
I'm hangin' up my travelin' shoes.
I've been ridin' a sea of uncertainty, runnin' away fom is all.
I've listened to nothing that life had to tell me, watched all my dreams rise
and fall.
I've made my mistakes, but it's not too late to pull myself out of the blues.
Its took me some time but I've made up my mind, I'm hanging up my travelin shoes.
