Текст песни Ronnie And Neil (Drive-By Truckers) с переводом

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 there 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
