Letra y Significado de SWEET HOME ALABAMA, Ligabue


anonimo opina:

Puesto #1 Neil Young escribió dos canciones protesta en las que criticaba el estilo de vida del sur, en especial lo referente a la esclavitud, el racismo y la violencia. A Lynyrd Skynyrdno les gustó y compusieron este tema para rendir homenaje a esa región aunque ellos eran de Florida y para contestar a Young diciéndole que hacía mal metiendo en el mismo saco a todos los sureños por unos crímenes que habían cometido unos pocos.


Big wheels keep on turning
carry me home to see my kin.
singing songs about the southland
i miss'ole' 'bamy once again (and i think it's a sin)
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 gov'nor boo hoo hoo !
now we all did what we could do.
now watergate does not bother me.
does your conscience bother you? (tell the truth)
now muscle shoals has got the swampers
and they've been known to pick a tune or two
lord they get me off so much
they pick me up when i'm feeling blue
now how about you?
