“Sweet Home Alabama, praises former Governor and presidential candidate George Wallace. “
In Birmingham they love the guvnor’
Boo, boo, boo..
They were not praising Wallace.
"Sweet Home Alabama, praises former DEMOCRATIC, Governor and presidential candidate George Wallace."
FIFY
Where is the Boo Boo Boo?
Whatever, I've never liked 'em. Their gun control song "Saturday Night Special" (from a crew likely to know where that term came from) told me all I needed to know about their politics.
One of the best songs ever! Though, lately, I’m singing “Sweet Home, Mississippi” ‘cause I’m going home. ;o)
What a great answer to Neil Young. “Free Bird” is another classic.
Muscle Shoals has produced her fair share of good music.
“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 Alabama once again
And I think it’s a sin, yes
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
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
Ah ah ah
Alabama, ah ah ah
Alabama, ah ah ah
Alabama, ah ah ah
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 governor’s true
Sweet home Alabama, Lordy
Lord, I’m coming home to you, yeah yeah
Montgomery’s got the answer”
