1, 2, 3… Turn it up!
Big wheels keep on turning / Carry me home to see my kin / Singing songs about the Southland / I miss Alabamy once again and I think it’s a sin, yes
Well I heard Mister Young sing about her / Well I heard ole Neil put her down / Well I hope Neil Young will remember / A Southern man don’t need him around anyhow
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 boo boo! / Now we all did what we could do / Now Watergate does not bother me / Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama / Where the skies are so blue / Sweet home Alabama / Lord, I’m coming home to you. Here I come, Alabama / Alabama…
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. Now how about you?
Sweet home Alabama / Where the skies are so blue / Sweet home Alabama / Lord, I’m coming home to you
Sweet home Alabama, oh sweet home baby / Where the skies are so blue, and the Governors true / Sweet home Alabama, Lordy! / Lord, I’m coming home to you / Yeah… Come on! My Montgomery’s got the answer
