Alabama – There’s No Way

“There’s No Way” is a song written by John Jarrard, Lisa Palas and Will Robinson, and recorded by American country music band Alabama. It was released in January 1985 as the first single from the band’s album 40-Hour Week.

When “There’s No Way” reached No. 1 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart in May 1985, it became Alabama’s 16th straight No. 1 single in as many single releases (excepting for the 1982 Christmas single “Christmas in Dixie”). The feat allowed Alabama to tie Sonny James’ 14-year-old record for most No. 1 songs in as many consecutive single releases.

Alabama – There’s No Way Lyrics

As I lay by your side and hold you tonight
I want you to understand,
This love that I feel is so right and so real,
I realize how lucky I am.
And should you ever wonder if my love is true,
There’s something that I want to make clear to you.

There’s no way I can make it without you,
There’s no way that I’d even try.
If I had to survive without you in my life,
I know I wouldn’t last a day.
Oh babe, there’s no way.

It means so much to me whenever I see
That ‘wanting me look’ in your eyes.
I don’t know how I could do without
Holding you close every night.
I’ve waited so long just to have you to hold.
Now that I’ve got you,
I’ll never let go.

There’s no way I can make it without you.
There’s no way that I’d even try.
If I had to survive without you in my life,
I know I wouldn’t last a day.
Oh babe, there’s no way.

I never knew until you
What I was missing.
Now you say “Forever.”
I find my heart, it’s listening,
Yes, I’m listening.

There’s no way I can make it without you.
There’s no way that I’d even try.
If I had to survive without you in my life,
I know I wouldn’t last a day.
Oh babe, there’s no way.

Baby, there’s just no way.
