******************************************
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing 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 ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, [bad word] home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the [bad word] 
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, [bad word] home to you
Here [bad word] Alabama

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 feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, [bad word] home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's [bad word] Sweet Home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, [bad word] home to you
Yea, yea Montgomery's got the answer
