Send "Sweet Home Alabama" ringtones to your cell

Turn It Up 

Big wheels keep on turning 
Carry me home to see my kin 
Singing songs about the Southland 
I miss Alabamee 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 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 
Where the skies are so blue 
And the governor's true 
Sweet Home Alabama 
Lordy 
Lord, I'm coming home to you 
Yeah, yeah

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I moved to Ohio from Georgia and this song makes me nostalgic for the good old South . It's good to know that there are other people out there that feel the same.

495 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song epitomizes "Southern Rock" for me. Since nobody else has mentioned it yet, I'd like to comment on what a clever and heartfelt retort this was in response to Neil Young's "Alabama" and "Southern Man". Nothing like a good insult to get the old creative juices flowing, eh? * offtopic : Just for the record, I love Neil Young.

18 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Actually, Lynyrd Skynyrd was big fans of Neil Young. That reference is just a little poke in the ribs, I think. It is kinda funny that Neil Young wrote those two songs, with him being from Canada and all. As for this song, It's pretty good, but it gets a little overplayed. And I hate how they made a movie with the same title. Real clever, idiots.
