Sweet Home Alabama
Lynyrd Skynyrd

(Ronnie Van Zant/Ed King/Gary Rossington)

(One, two, three)

(Turn it up)


Big wheels keep on turnin',
Carry me home to my kin.
Singin' songs 'bout the southland,
I miss ol' bamy once again, and I think it's sin

Well, I hear Mr. Young sing about her,
Well, I heard ol' Neil put her down.
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember,
A Southern Man don't need him around, anyhow.

Sweet home Alabama, where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm comin' home to you.

In Birmingham, they love the Gov'ner, Ooo Ooo Ooo,
An' they did all that they could do.
Now Watergate does not bother me,
Does your conscience bother you? (Tell the truth)

Sweet home Alabama, where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm comin' home to you.
Here I come, Alabama

Now Muscle Shores' has got the swampers,
An' they've been known to pick a song or two. (Yes they do)
Now they get me off so much,
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue (Now how 'bout you?)

Sweet home Alabama, where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm comin' home to you.
Sweet home Alabama, where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm comin' home to you.
