COUNTING CROWS - Sweet Home Alabama lyrics

rate me

(Original by Lynyrd Skynard)

Big wheels keep on turning carry me home to see my kin

Singing songs about the southland

I miss my family once again and I think it's a sin

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

In Birmingham they love the governor boo-hoo-hoo

Now we all did what we could do

Now Watergate does not bother me

Does your conscience bother you tell me true

CHORUS:

Here I come Alabama

SOLO

Now Muscle Shoals has got the swampers, they've been known to pick a song or two

Lord they get me off so much

They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue

Now how about you

CHORUS:

Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue oh sweet home

Sweet home Alabama Lord I'm coming home to you And the gov'nor's true

Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue oh yeah

Sweet home Alabama Lord I'm coming home to you yeah yeah
