D MajorD
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:
G+G D MajorD
I'm feelin' better
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Now that I'm back on the road
G+G D MajorD
Getting' it together
C majorC G+G D MajorD
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 augmentedA 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:
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
All came together in my sweet Alabama home
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
And I'm through forever of tryin' to put everybody on
G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
D MajorD
And I'm feelin' better, I got hurt but I'm back on the road
G+G D MajorD C majorC
Getting' it together.had to eat a little cornbread
D MajorD
I've been eatin' that cornbread, sleepin' on a featherbed
C majorC G+G
Drinkin' that homegrown, writin' some new songs, do it on, get home
D MajorD
Eat a little cornbread, lovin on a featherbed
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Smokin' that homegrown, write a few new songs.this here music's
homegrown
