Alabama in a Song

[uagirl]

I know there have been threads that somewhat cover this, but I am trying to put together a playlist that either mentions Alabama or Crimson Tide or Roll Tide or Bear Bryant in the song. I know of a few, but I am trying to find out what I missed.


Tim McGraw--Southern Voice
Buddy Jewell--Sweet Southern Comfort
Trace Adkins--Ala-Fricking-Bama
Steely Dan--Deacon Blues

of course there are songs that we have co-opted such as:
Sweet Home Alabama
Dixie Land Delight

You should download Saturday in Dixie and Just in the Nick of Time on iTunes or Amazon. Both about Bama football and both by Lance Brown.

My favorite is Bama Anthem. I think it is by 63 Boyz.

 

[BamaDaddy]

Stars Fell on Alabama

Van Halen's "Feels so Good" has the line: 'Everyday, I watch the tide roll in'

Garth Brooks' "The River" has the line: 'Choose to chance the rapids, and dare to dance the tide.'

Both songs get a big hearty "ROLL TIDE!" every time I hear those lines.

There is one called Bear of Alabama have to see if I can find it ( I have it) and find the artist. Also, the group Alabama did My homes in Alabama.

Don't forget Blondie's "The Tide is High"

There's a thread over on The Strip, which is where I'm moving this thread.

"Mississippi Kid" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

" 'cause down in Alabama you can run, but you sure can't hide."

"Deacon Blues" by Steely Dan:

(chorus)
"They got a name for the winners in the world,
And I want a name when I lose;
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide,
Call me Deacon Blues..."

Great song about Alabama: Warren Zevon's "Play It All Night Long"

Also, probably the only song ever written that mentions brucellosis.
