Big wheels keep on turnin' Carryin' me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the southland I miss Alabamy once again and I think its a sin yes
Well I heard Mister 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
(**) Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet home
Alabama Lord I'm comin' home to you
In Birmingham they love the governor Boo, boo, Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me Does your conscience bother you? . tell the truth
(**)
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers And 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
(**)
One of the verses is an attack on Neil Young: "I hope Neil Young will remember a southern man don't need him around anyhow." Young had written songs like "Southern Man" and "Alabama," which implied that people in the Southern US were racist and stuck in the past. Skynyrd responded with this, a song about Southern pride and all the good things in Alabama. The feud between Lynyrd Skynyrd and Neil Young was always good-natured fun; they were actually big fans of each other. (songfacts)
