I'm 24 years old
I won't live this way anymore
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
Alabama May
Dogwoods and redbuds
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
Burning alive
Burning inside
But you won't burn me down
Now the bus slows
And the driver runs away
See my blackness shining in the sun
See my blackness shining in the sun
Little white girl
May I have a glass of water
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
Burning alive
Burning inside
But you won't burn me down
I'm 24 years old
I won't live this way anymore
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
I won't live this way anymore
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
Alabama May
Dogwoods and redbuds
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
Burning alive
Burning inside
But you won't burn me down
Now the bus slows
And the driver runs away
See my blackness shining in the sun
See my blackness shining in the sun
Little white girl
May I have a glass of water
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
Burning alive
Burning inside
But you won't burn me down
I'm 24 years old
I won't live this way anymore
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
