Scroll down for classic, Alabama-loving Lynyrd Skynyrd lyrics.
The image to your right shows a specimen of Fort Payne chert in Alabama. Pictured on the PHOTO QUIZ page is an Alabama chert quarry. Chert is a fine grained sedimentary rock that is closely related to flint. It may contain small fossils, and varies greatly in color, depending on which other minerals are present within it. The properties of chert allow for many uses, such as building tools and starting fires. Currently, chert is most frequently used as construction material. The Fort Payne chert formation is a Mississippian cherty limestone that overlies the Chattanooga Shale and underlies the St. Louis Limestone. It is named for Fort Payne, Alabama, where this particular formation occurs.
SWEET HOME ALABAMA by Lynyrd Skynyrd
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 it's 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
