Sweet Home Alabama
Written by Ed King, Gary Rossington, and Ronnie Van Zant for the band's second album Second Helping, the song was written in response to Neil Young's songs "Southern Man" and "Alabama". Young is name-checked in the lyrics, and the song remains a staple of Southern rock alongside "Free Bird".
