Counting Crows Sweet Home Alabama Lyrics

Sweet Home Alabama Lyrics

(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
