	that song is the best southern rock song, and traveling song, i have ever heard in my life. and i cant tell ya how many times i listened to it... i believe this song is about the pride he takes in alabama

No Picture Zane Rhythm Player	#2 by Zane Haight at Jan 17, 2007 at 10:24 PM EST
	Nikkileemn, you ignorant slut! I just read what you said about "I Am the Walrus" (Beatles) and I take back the compliment I just made right above.

No Picture The Real Slim S Average	#3 by The Real Slim Shady at Apr 29, 2007 at 2:13 PM EST
	What's funny is Lynyrd sings Sweet Home Alabama when their home is Louisianna!!!

No Picture Badass	#4 by guess wha' i suck at May 30, 2007 at 9:07 AM EST
	This is one of the greatest American songs ever! It even has the supernatural ability to make mullets almost sexy.
