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 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 Knoxville 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
