Alabama (i/ˌæləˈbæmə/) is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. It is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west. Alabama is the 30th-most extensive and the 24th-most populous of the 50 United States. At 1,300 miles (2,100 km), Alabama has one of the longest navigable inland waterways in the nation.
From the American Civil War until World War II, Alabama, like many states in the South, suffered economic hardship, in part because of continued dependence on agriculture. Despite the growth of major industries and urban centers, White rural interests dominated the state legislature from 1901 to the 1960s, as it did not regularly reapportion the legislature from 1901 to 1961; urban interests and African Americans were markedly under-represented. African Americans and poor whites were essentially disenfranchised altogether by the state constitution of 1901, a status that continued into the mid-1960s before being alleviated by federal legislation. Exclusion of minorities continued under at-large voting systems in most counties; some changes were made through a series of omnibus court cases in the late 1980s to establish different electoral systems.
You're still the lady of my dreams
You're still my high school beauty queen
To me it's still magic when we touch
And I have never loved you so much
As right now
As right now
You're still my actress on the screen
Still the leading lady in my scenes
To me, it's still magic when we touch
And I've still never loved someone so much
As right now
As right now
As right now
You're still the one I'm with when I'm alone
And you're still the lover calling on my phone
To me, it's still magic when we touch
And I will never love someone so much
As right now
As right now
As right now
As right now
As right now
As right now
