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
