NEIL YOUNG LYRICS - Alabama

"Alabama"



Oh Alabama

The devil fools

with the best laid plan.

Swing low Alabama

You got spare change

You got to feel strange

And now the moment

is all that it meant.



Alabama, you got

the weight on your shoulders

That's breaking your back.

Your Cadillac

has got a wheel in the ditch

And a wheel on the track



Oh Alabama

Banjos playing

through the broken glass

Windows down in Alabama.

See the old folks

tied in white ropes

Hear the banjo.

Don't it take you down home?



Alabama, you got

the weight on your shoulders

That's breaking your back.

Your Cadillac

has got a wheel in the ditch

And a wheel on the track



Oh Alabama.

Can I see you

and shake your hand.

Make friends down in Alabama.

I'm from a new land

I come to you

and see all this ruin

What are you doing Alabama?

You got the rest of the union

to help you along

What's going wrong?
