Ever wonder about the Alabama license plates?

Post by dctalk5827 »

FYI:

i finally found out where the words "stars fell on Alabama" written at the top of the normal Alabama plates (not the save the saturn 5 plates)....

it's a song sung by Frank Sinatra and here are the lyrics...

We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
While (And) stars fell on Alabama (fractured 'Bama)
Last night

I never planned in my imagination
A situation - so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center - just you and me

My heart beat (just) like a hammer
(My) Arms wound around you tight
And (While) stars fell on Alabama
Last night
---------------------------------
and yes, this really is where they got the license plate words. :)

Next time you ride the bus from the airport - look at the cars in the parking lot as you pull into the Sprocket Center lot.
