Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you.
Sweet home Alabama, where the skies are so blue. Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her. Well, I heard ol' Neil put her down. A Southern man don't need him around anyhow. And I hope Neil Young will remember. And we all did what we could do. Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers. Now, we all did what we could do. Sweet home Alabama, how 'bout you? |
