"Forrest Gump" filminde Tom Hanks'in maceralarından sonra evine dönerken çaldığı ileri derecede milliyetçi ama bir o kadar neşeli bir şarkı. Lynyrd Skynyrd'ın 1974 tarihli ikinci albumleri Second Helping'in açılış parçası olan "Sweet Home Alabama", Texas dolaylarındaki Redneck'lerin de milli marşı.
big wheels keep on turnin'
carry me home to my kin
singin' songs about the southland
i miss ole bamy once again, and i think its a sin
i heard neil young sing about "her"
good old neil put her down
i hope neil young will remember
a southern man dont need him anyhow
sweet home alabama
where the skies are so blue
sweet home alabama
lord, im comin home to you
in birmingham, they love the governor
they all did what we to do
now watergate doesnot bother me
does your conciess bother you, tell the truth...
