Well, here we are together
For the first time, the moonlight, it was corny
And we're sitting here holding hands
As if it were some special ceremony
And of all the loves that ever lived
Tonight we feel that our love is the best
And the whole state of Alabama couldn't care less

Do you remember when Billy Joe MacGregor
Introduced us in that restaurant?
Now we both agree
That Billy Joe MacGregor might ought to run for president
Does he know that he played Cupid
And we're sitting here tonight in love like this?
And the whole state of Alabama doesn't know our love exists

Wake the town and tell the people
That tonight we found a love beyond compare
And it could have been the Alabama moon
Or simply something in the air
But we borrowed Alabama stars tonight
To make our love grow
And we thought our love was something
That the state of Alabama ought to know

And we thought our love was something
That the state of Alabama ought to know
And we thought our love was something
That the state of Alabama ought to know
