    Lyrics

    Big wheels keep on turning

    Carrying 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 Mr. Young sing about her

    Well I heard old 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


    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 guv'nor's true)

    Sweet Home Alabama (Lordy)

    Lord, I'm coming home to you

    Yea, yea
