Meaning of Sweet Home Alabama Lyrics

Neil Youngs ‘Alabama’, not his ‘Southern Man’. Wikipedia says it’s a response to both.

Wallace was the governor when Neil wrote those songs, Nixon was president.

Odd how Lynyrd Skynyrd would defend Alabamas racist and backwards practices (at the time), then stump for gun control in ‘Mr Saturday Night Special’.

Then again, didn’t they also do ‘Gimme Back my Bullets’?

Maybe they are just songs.
