Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Misty sunrise in my hometown
Rows of cotton 'bout knee high
Mrs. Baker down the dirt road
Still got clothes out on the line
Erwin Nichols there with Judsley
Playin' checkers at the gin
When I dream about the Southland
This is where it all begins
[Chorus]
From Carolina down to Georgia
Smell the jasmine and magnolia
Sleepy, sweet home Alabama
Roll Tide Roll
Muddy water, Misssissippi
Blessed Graceland whispers to me
Carry on, carry on
Sweet Southern comfort, carry on
[Verse 2]
Catchin' catfish on the river
Chasin' fireflies by the creek
Kissin' Gary Williams' sister
On the porch, homecomin' week
With rusted cars and weepin' willows
Keepin' watch out in the yard
Just a snapshot of downhome Dixie
Could be anywhere you are
[Chorus]
In Carolina or in Georgia
Open arms are waitin' for ya
Louisiana, Yellow Rose of San Antone
Arkansas, Mississippi
Old Man River whispers to me
Carry on, carry on
Sweet Southern comfort, carry on
[Verse 3]
As I sit here, I'm surrounded
By these priceless memories
I don't have to think about it
There's no place I'd rather be
[Chorus]
Than Carolina or in Georgia
Smell the jasmine and magnolia
Sleepy, sweet home Alabama
Roll Tide Roll
Muddy water, Misssissippi
Blessed Graceland whispers to me
Carry on, yeah, carry on
Sweet Southern comfort
Yeah, carry on, carry on
Sweet Southern comfort, carry on
