written by Warren Zevon 1980 Zevon Music BMI. Grandpa pissed his pants again. He don't give a damn. Brother Billy has both guns drawn. He ain't been right since Vietnam. "Sweet home Alabama". Play that dead band's song. Turn those speakers up full blast. Play it all night long. Daddy's doing Sister Sally. Grandma's dying of cancer now. The cattle all have brucellosis. We'll get through somehow. "Sweet home Alabama". Play that dead band's song. Turn those speakers up full blast. Play it all night long. I'm going down to the Dew Drop Inn. See if I can drink enough. There ain't much to country living. Sweat piss jizz and blood. "Sweet home Alabama". Play that dead band's song. Turn those speakers up full blast. Play it all night long.
