Feelin' Better

Moved on down to Sweet Home Alabama in 1974

Had to get out of Music City, and I had to get off the road

Woman, she left, and the people wouldn't let me sing nothin' but them old sad songs

Had to get high, so I wouldn't cry, you know they hit pretty close to home

I'm feelin' better

Now that I'm back on the road

Gettin' it together

Between Macon and Muscle Shoals

I started turnin' up loud and lookin' at the crowd and bendin' them guitar strings

Knew all the while that it was my style, could they ever forget my name?

Rocked 'em in Raleigh, knocked 'em out of Knoxville, just couldn't do no wrong

People went wild and the band said, "Child, better keep on playing your songs"

I'm feelin' better

Now that I'm back on the road

Gettin' it together

Between Macon and Muscle Shoals

Well, my life ain't the same and I had to change and I hope this music will show

A little bit less of cryin' and the beer and a little of my own soul

Waylon and Toy and all of them boys, I wanna say, "Thanks to you"

Your fiddle and your steel, make me play what I feel, and I don't feel lovesick blues

And I'm feelin' better

Now that I'm back on the road

Gettin' it together

Between Macon and Muscle Shoals

All came together

In my sweet Alabama home

And I'm through forever

Oh, tryin' to put everybody on

I'm feelin' better

I got hurt, but I'm back on the road

Gettin' it together

Had to eat a little cornbread

All gonna eatin' that cornbread, sleepin' on a feather bed

Drinkin' that homegrown, writin' some new songs

Do it on your own

They're eatin' that cornbread, lovin' on a feather bed

Drinkin' that homegrown, write a few new songs

This here music's homegrown

I'm feelin' better

Now that I'm back on the road

Gettin' it together

Between Macon and Muscle Shoals

All came together

In my sweet Alabama home

And I'm through forever
