Drive-By Truckers - Ronnie and Neil lyrics

[Drive-By Truckers - Ronnie and Neil lyrics]

Church blew up in Birmingham
Four little black girls killed for
No goddamn good reason
All this hate and violence can't
Come to no good end a stain on the good name
A whole lot of good people dragged
Through the blood and glass
Blood stains on their good names and
All of us take the blame

Meanwhile in North Alabama
Wilson Pickett comes to town
To record that sweet soul music
To get that Muscle Shoals sound

Meanwhile in North Alabama
Aretha Franklin comes to town
To record that sweet soul music
To get that Muscle Shoals sound
And out in California
A rock star from Canada writes a


Couple of great songs about the
Bad shit that went down
"Southern Man" and "Alabama" certainly
Told some truth
But there were a lot of good folks
Down here and Neil Young wasn't around

Meanwhile in North Alabama
Lynyrd Skynyrd came to town
To record with Jimmy Johnson
At Muscle Shoals Sound
And they met some real good people
Not racist pieces of shit
And they wrote a song about it
And that song became a hit

Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil
Rock stars today ain't half as real
Speaking their minds on how they feel
Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil

Now Ronnie and Neil became good friends
Their feud was just in song
Skynyrd was a bunch of Neil Young fans
And Neil he loved that song
So He wrote "Powderfinger" for
Skynyrd to record
But Ronnie ended up singing "Sweet
Home Alabama" to the lord

And Neil helped carry Ronnie in
His casket to the ground
And to my way of thinking
Us southern men need both of them around

Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil
Rock stars today ain't half as real
Speaking their minds on how they feel
Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil
