Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three
Turn it up
[Verse 1]
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the South-land
I miss Alabamy once again and I think it's a sin, yes
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
In Birmingham they loved the Governor
Boo, boo, boo
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
[Chorus]
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you, here I come
Alabama
[Bridge]
Ah, ah, ah, Alabama
Ah, ah, ah, Alabama
Ah, ah, ah, Alabama
Ah, ah, ah, Alabama
[Verse 4]
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two (Yes, they do)
Lord, they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue, well now, how 'bout you?
[Chorus]
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
[Outro]
Sweet home Alabama, oh, sweet home
Where the skies are so blue and the governor's true
Sweet home Alabama, lordy
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Yeah, yeah
