Alabama - Neil Young

Oh, Alabama

The devil fools

With the best laid plan

Swing low, Alabama

You got the 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 robes

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?
