Legends Lynyrd Skynyrd are all ready to appear on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien performing their new single “Simple Life” from the new album God & Guns by roadrunner records.
God and Guns is their first studio album since 2003’s Vicious Cycle, and their first release on Loud & Proud-Roadrunner.
The sudden deaths of longtime keyboardist Billy Powell and bass player Ean Evans earlier this year brought sad and unexpected twists to the album’s recording process.
Even along these tragedies the band has enjoyed continued success and visibility in the past couple of years including a recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. Their rock anthem “Sweet Home Alabama” has crossed the 2 million mark in downloaded ring tones. With over 30 million sales from more the 60 records, Lynyrd Skynyrd still remains a big cultural icon that appeals to all generations till today.
“Sweet Home Alabama” is a song by the legendary band from Southern part of USA called Lynyrd Skynyrd that first appeared in 1974 on their second album.
Check out the Lyric below.
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
Here I come Alabama
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
Yea, yea Montgomery’s got the answer
