Lyrics

VERSE
Went to the seashore, outskirts of L.A.
Lookin’ around; I knew it wasn’t there I’d find you
But now I’ve found the L.A. where I’ll stay
Oh, yes, in Lower Alabama, I found Xanadu
I was on the beach lookin’ for a girlfriend lover
And it was there that I knew it would be you
We laughed, we played, talkin’ love to each other
And in Lower Alabama, we found Xanadu

CHORUS
Oh, L.A., we found Xanadu in you
Down-home folks, country bands
And everybody’s got a golden tan
Oh, L.A., we found Xanadu in you

SOLO/VERSE
Some people still call it the “Redneck Riviera”
It ain’t France, but it’s my kind of rendezvous
Nowhere else for us; we want Lower Alabama
Because it’s there that we found Xanadu
Now Xanadu is all anyone could wish for
Breathtaking views, dreams coming true
It was there that I walked through the door
To Lower Alabama, you, and Xanadu

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/BRIDGE
It’s fine to go lookin’; no tellin’ what you’ll see
But I think you may find what you’re lookin’ for a little closer
To that old sweet home…

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Orange Beach, Gulf Shores
All the way down at the bottom of Alabama
