Surely some good important things came from Alabama, what are they?

    The song isn’t so much about Alabama as it is Sweet Home.

    Because if those guys can think fondly of Alabama, then EVERYONE should have a better reason to remember home with love.

    Wherever your home is, that’s YOUR Alabama.

      Nah, I reckon it is a love song to the south. It was also political for its time talking about watergate and George Wallace

        It’s a response to Neil Young’s songs which criticized the racist south.

        Basically, it’s what-about-ism in song form, mocking the liberals for being upset with Nixon.

      And it’s about a home other people don’t respect. I’ve known Appalachians and folks from the deep south who’re great people but folks hear their voices and assume the worst. There’s some real awesome folks down in Alabama, 8tsbu7e5 that the ones in charge are real pieces of shit.
