DESCRIPTION:
Alabama singing Never Be One. The song was recorded in 1981 and pressed on the B-Side of a 7" 45 RPM Single released by the RCA Records Label. (The A-Side was the lead-off & title track 'Mountain Music' from the February 1982 LP of the same name.)

The song was published on the B-Side of that afore-mentioned LP 'Alabama - Mountain Music', released by the RCA Victor Records Label in February of 1982.

The 1993 double play compilation CD Country Side of Life, released by the Pair Records Label in collaboration with RCA Special Products & BMG, is home to the song as well.

Alabama - Original Album Classics, a 5-CD compilation box set released in 2013 by the combined Labels of RCA, Sony and Legacy included the tune on Mountain Music the sub-titled disc-3.


Never Be One

Drift off and dream in your paper doll world
Play with the presents from the boys and the girls
You big day is over, the cake is all gone
We sang you to sleep with the birthday song

No, you'll never be one again
The two's are tumbling on in
Daddy's little girl is growing up in the world
You'll never be one again

The toy piano is quiet in the hall
As Kermie the frog sits watching it all
And soon your legs will grow
And make the tricycle go
And take you away from us all

No, you'll never be one again
The two's are tumbling on in
Daddy's little girl is growing up in the world
You'll never be one again

Goodnight, Baby
Goodnight, Daddy

It was written by Alabama band member Teddy Gentry.
