Lyrics
I was just a kid when I saw the King, singing on that TV Show. I told my Momma and my Daddy someday that they'd hear me on the radio.
I got my first guitar when I was 10 years old, my uncle said he'd show me how to play. It wasn't very long til I was strummin along to the songs and I'm still thanking God every day for those
(chorus) Sweet sounds from Alabam you can still hear the songs today, Hank Williams from Montgomery town Wet Willie down on Mobile Bay.
The Fort Payne boys up on Lookout Mountain, you really could'nt get much higher, and the T-town boys called the Sanford-Townsend band singing Smoke from a distant fire.
(bridge) Muscle Shoals sound, it was the place to be. Crankin out the number one's just like a well oiled machine. With the Swampers layin down the rhythym on each and every song. Duane Allman came to town, turned it upside down, playing his guitar like no one had ever seen.
