My Sweet Home [Intro] G C
             G                                     *
I just watched the only county cop make a traffic stop

                  C
So I’m free and clear

              G
So I’m gonna stretch it out put the pedal down point those headlights south

               C
And get out of here

     Am                     C                     G
Been gone from the sunshine state now for far too long

    Am         C                 G
I’m trading Alabama for my sweet home

     G
I found some work in that red dirt they've got up there

                    C
just outside Birmingham

         G
Til the skies went dry and times got hard and them railroad cars

                       C
Well they quit slowing down

       Am             C                       G
And I knew my days in this place, weren’t for long

     Am        C                 G
I’m trading alabama for my sweet home
[Instrumental] G C [Bridge]
          G
Theres a phone booth at the next rest stop so I changed lanes and pulled off

          C
To make a call

       G
Hear a pretty little girl on the other end of the line
she’ll be waiting up for me through the dead of the night
           C
While I’m dodging stop signs, and red lights and Johnny Law

     Am                          C                            G
And rolling tires make lonesome sounds but I’m rewriting that song

        Am          C                 G
And I’m trading alabama for my sweet home

        D             C                     G                     C
I ain’t got a thing against them folks that call that state their home

             G
But it ain’t mine

    D                 C                     G                  C         
So I’ll let out that southern yell when my pickup truck rolls past

             G
that Florida line
[Instrumental] G C
     Am                      C                     G
Been gone from the sunshine state now for far too long

     Am           C                  G
I’m trading in Alabama for my sweet home

      Am             C                            G
That screen door silhouette with the porch lights on

     Am          C                  G
I’m done with alabama, I’m finally home
