Feelin’ Better

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 me
The people wouldn't let me sing nothin
But them old sad songs
Had to get high so I wouldn't cry you
Known they hit pretty close to home

I'm feelin better now that I'm
Back on the road
Gettin it together between Macon
And Muscle shoals
I started turnin' it loud and lookin to
The crowd and bendin them guitar strings
Knew all the while that it was my
Style could they ever forget my name
Rocked through Raleigh Knocked em out of
Knoxville just coundn't do no wrong
People went wild and the band said child
Better keep on playing your songs

Well my life ain't the same
And I had to change
And I hope this music will show
A little bit less of cryin and the beer
And a little of my own soul
Waylon and toy and all of them boys
I want to say thanks to you
Your fiddle and your steel make me play what
I feel and I don't feel lovesick blues

I'm feelin better now that I'm
Back on the road
Gettin it together between Macon
And Muscle shoals
I started turnin' it loud and lookin to
The crowd and bendin them guitar strings
Knew all the while that it was my
Style could they ever forget my name
Rocked through Raleigh Knocked em out of
Knoxville just coundn't do no wrong
People went wild and the band said child
Better keep on playing your songs

I'm feelin better maybe eat
A little corn bread
Been eatin that corn bread lovin on
The feather bed smokein that
Homegrown writin some new songs they
Won't do you wrong oh
Eat a little corn bread lovin
On the feather bed drinkin
That homegrown writin some new songs
This hear music's homegrown

I'm feelin better now that I'm
Back on the road
Gettin it together between Macon
And Muscle shoals
I started turnin' it loud and lookin to
The crowd and bendin them guitar strings
Knew all the while that it was my
Style could they ever forget my name
Rocked through Raleigh Knocked em out of
Knoxville just coundn't do no wrong
People went wild and the band said child
Better keep on playing your songs
