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 me 

the people wouldn't let me sing nothin but them old sad songs, 

had to get high so i wouldn't cry you known they hit pretty close to home

            chorus

i'm feelin better now that i'm back on the road 

gettin it together between Macon and Muscle shoals

i started turninn it loud and lookin to the crowd and bendin them guitar strings, 

knew all the while that it was my style could they ever forget my name

rocked through Raleigh Knocked em out of Knoxville just coundn't do no wrong

people went wild and the band said child better keep on playing 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 and the beer and a little of my own soul

waylon and toy and all of them boys i want to say thanks to you 

your fiddle and your steel make me play what i feel and i don't feel lovesick blues



           repeat chorus



i'm feelin better maybe eat a little corn bread 

been eatin that corn bread lovin on the feather bed smokein that homegrown writin some new songs they won't do you wrong oh eat a little corn bread lovin on the feather bed drinkin that homegrown writin some new songs this hear music's homegrown 

     repeat chorus
