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, Alabaman ah ahAlabama, ah ah ahAlabama, ah ah ah Alabama, ah ah ah Alabama Now Muscle Shoals has got the swampers And they've been known to pick a song or two(Yes, they do!) 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 blueSweet 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, yeah yeah Montgomery's got the answer
