Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama

Sweet Home Albama的创作缘由：据闻是由于Neil Young在Southern Man 批判南方人保守意識形態的歌，火力四射，後來激得Lynyrd Skynyrd寫出Sweet Home Alabama反唇相譏。后来，还有部电影以命名，电影不错，推荐各位看看。

不管是歌曲还是电影同样都表现出，美国南方人对曾经的生活也是充满着感情的。Lynyrd Skynyrd在几场现场演出中悬挂当年未统一的美国南方旗帜(Confederate Flag)；同样，在电影中女主角Milena的父亲及父辈们还会重新穿着上美国南北战争时的战衣，重新演绎当时南方军队最终惨败的一幕。

下面注释来源于维基百科全书，翻译如下：大家都认为乡村乐队Lynyrd Skynyrd写此歌是为了回击Neil Young在Southern man中所表达的对南方人的观点。实际上Lynyrd Skynyrd只是写首歌来展示南方的美好。Lynyrd Skynyrd成员与Neil Young是好朋友，Young经常说他喜欢Sweet home Alabama这首歌及Lynyrd Skynyrd的主唱Ronnie Van Zant。Van Zant在演唱Sweet home Alabama时也经常穿着印着Young的T-shirt。Neil Young在Sounthern Man中表达了对南方人使用黑奴的不满，提醒南方人的种族主义有一天总会“pay them back”。文中提到的Muscl Shoals市在Tennessee河边，以其世界闻名的唱片工业著称。

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, I'm coming home to you
