Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama

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 it's 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
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
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
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
Yea, yea

Great thread!

When it comes to city/town/country songs, it doesn't get any better than George Strait's "Amarillo By Morning"!

[Michael.SF.]

I liked Joe Ely's version best, until I heard Jimmie Dale Gilmore's version of his song:

Did you ever see Dallas from a DC9 at night?

If you don't know JDG, you may recognize him as Smokey from 'The Big Lebowski'

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Flatlanders: “Dallas from a DC6?” or something like that.

“Galveston” - Glen Campbell

NEVER: “PLEASE COME TO BOSTON”. One of the worst songs ever.

“Oklahoma” - theme song for the movie - John Raitt?

several about Memphis - “Memphis” an instrumental is one

“Nutbush City” - Tina Turner

I rest my case!
