 DMoved on down to sweet home Alabama in 1974
 Had to get out of Music City and I had to get off the road
 Woman, she left and the people wouldn't let me sing nothin' but them old
 sad songs
 Had to get high so I wouldn't cry, you know they hit pretty close to
 home
 Chorus:
 I'm feelin' GbettDer
 CNow that I'm Gback on the Droad
 Getting' it toGgethDer
 Between CMacon and GMuscle DShoals
 I started turnin' up loud and looking at the crowd and bendin' them
 guitar strings
 Knew all the while, though it was my style could they ever forget my
 name
 Rocked 'ed in Raleigh, knocked 'em outta Nashville, just couldn't do no
 wrong
 People went wild and the band said, "Child, better keep on playin' your
 songs"
 Chorus
 Well, my life ain't the same and I had to change and I hope this music
 will show
 A little bit less of cryin' in the beer and a little of my own soul
 Waylon and Toy and all them boys, I wanna say thanks to you
 Your fiddle and your steel make me play what I feel and I don't feel
 lovesick blues
 Chorus

Moved on down to sweet home Alabama in 1974

Had to get out of Music City and I had to get off the road

Woman, she left and the people wouldn't let me sing nothin' but them old

sad songs

Had to get high so I wouldn't cry, you know they hit pretty close to

home

Chorus:

G D

I'm feelin' better

C G D

Now that I'm back on the road

G D

Getting' it together

C G D

Between Macon and Muscle Shoals

I started turnin' up loud and looking at the crowd and bendin' them

guitar strings

Knew all the while, though it was my style could they ever forget my

name

Rocked 'ed in Raleigh, knocked 'em outta Nashville, just couldn't do no

wrong

People went wild and the band said, "Child, better keep on playin' your

songs"

Chorus

Well, my life ain't the same and I had to change and I hope this music

will show

A little bit less of cryin' in the beer and a little of my own soul

Waylon and Toy and all them boys, I wanna say thanks to you

Your fiddle and your steel make me play what I feel and I don't feel

lovesick blues

Chorus

Bridge:

G D C G D

All came together in my sweet Alabama home

G D C G D

And I'm through forever of tryin' to put everybody on

G D C D

And I'm feelin' better, I got hurt but I'm back on the road

G D C

Getting' it together.had to eat a little cornbread

I've been eatin' that cornbread, sleepin' on a featherbed

C G

Drinkin' that homegrown, writin' some new songs, do it on, get home

Eat a little cornbread, lovin on a featherbed
