"Sweet Home Alabama"

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the southland
I miss my family once again and I think it's a sin
Well I heard 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

CHORUS:
Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama Lord I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they love the governor Boo-Hoo-Hoo
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you Tell me true

CHORUS

Here I come Alabama

SOLO

Now Muscle Shoals has got the swampers
They've been known to pick a song or two
Lord They get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue Now How about you

CHORUS

Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Oh Sweet home
Sweet home Alabama Lord I'm coming home to you And the gov'nor's true
Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Oh Yeah
Sweet home Alabama Lord I'm coming home to you Yeah Yeah
