Standard (EADGBE)

  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

  I'm feelin' better

  Now that I'm back on the road

  Getting' it together

  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

  All came together in my sweet Alabama home

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

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

  Getting' it together.had to eat a little cornbread

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

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

  Eat a little cornbread, lovin on a featherbed

  Smokin' that homegrown, write a few new songs.this here music's

homegrown
