  • For two days now and I can't get this damn song out of my mind

    Oh alabama
    The devil fools with the best laid plan.
    Swing low alabama
    You got spare change
    You got to feel strange
    And now the moment is all that it meant.

    Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
    Thats breaking your back.
    Your cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch
    And a wheel on the track

    Oh alabama
    Banjos playing through the broken glass
    Windows down in alabama.
    See the old folks tied in white ropes
    Hear the banjo.
    Dont it take you down home?

    Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
    Thats breaking your back.
    Your cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch
    And a wheel on the track

    Oh alabama.
    Can I see you and shake your hand.
    Make friends down in alabama.
    Im from a new land
    I come to you and see all this ruin
    What are you doing alabama?
    You got the rest of the union to help you along
    Whats going wrong?

    This one too, alternating:

    Southern man
    better keep your head
    Don't forget
    what your good book said
    Southern change
    gonna come at last
    Now your crosses
    are burning fast
    Southern man

    I saw cotton
    and I saw black
    Tall white mansions
    and little shacks.
    Southern man
    when will you
    pay them back?
    I heard screamin'
    and bullwhips cracking
    How long? How long?

    Southern man
    better keep your head
    Don't forget
    what your good book said
    Southern change
    gonna come at last
    Now your crosses
    are burning fast
    Southern man

    Lily Belle,
    your hair is golden brown
    I've seen your black man
    comin' round
    Swear by God
    I'm gonna cut him down!
    I heard screamin'
    and bullwhips cracking
    How long? How long?

      This song is stuck in my head:

      =====================

      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
      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 Montgomery's got the answer

        How is Neil related to Brigham? It would have been nice to see Mr. Skynard use Brother/Elder instead of Mister.

            The low point of the Oklahoma-Army game was when they asked all veterans to stand and be recognized and then played Fortunate Son.

              That's like Ronald Reagan taking the stage in the '84 campaign to Springsteen's Born in the USA.

                  To be fair, we did send them down to war.
