When Alabama first sang “My Home’s in Alabama” back in 1980, it was more than just a debut. It was a vow — four young men from Fort Payne promising never to lose sight of who they were or where they came from. That song carried them out of the small bars and into the brightest arenas in the world.
But what no one realized then is that the circle would one day close. Decades later, in 2015, the band recorded “Come Find Me” — a quiet ballad that would unknowingly become their last true moment together as the original four. Jeff Cook’s guitar lines, Randy Owen’s voice worn by time, Teddy Gentry’s harmonies, and Mark Herndon’s steady rhythm — all wove into something that felt less like a hit and more like a whispered farewell.
Fans are only now connecting the dots: the very first song and the very last were never meant to be apart. From a declaration of home to a gentle call of goodbye, Alabama’s story was written like a perfect circle.
