Sweet Home Alabama (Live)

by David Byrne

(LYRICS FOR THE LIVE VERSION ON 1976)
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again and I think it's a sin
(Guitar Solo 1)
Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard old 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 comin' home to you
(Guitar Solo 2)
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
(Guitar Solo 3)
There is good people in Alabama
Let Mister Young know that too
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 been known to pick a song or two (Yes they do!)
But Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how 'bout you?
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord I'm comin' home to you one more baby
Sweet home Alabama oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue and the governor's true
Sweet Home Alabama Lord yeah
Lord I'm comin' home to you whoa!
Yeah yeah
Oh you say baby
(Piano Solo)
Come on Oakey
Meet Atlanta
(Guitar Solo 4)
(Guitar Solo 5)
Hold it!
Oh Sweet Alabama
I've done all I could do for you!
