It didn't come easy
Em
But I keep thinkin' bout
Bb C D
The green grass and missing my home
Chorus:
D C G D
Take me back to my southern ways

Where I can be myself and live another day

D C G D
Oh southern grace
D C G D
Me and my boys started a band
D C G D
Practiced everyday out on the Hell House land
D C G D
Played every honky tonk and this ol' bar
Em
To sing about Sweet 'Bama
G
We were just simple men
Em
The music is forever
Bb C
and the songs will never ever end
