Drive-By Truckers / 'The Three Great Alabama Icons'
After all, what other rock song can tie together Bear Bryant, George Wallace and Ronnie Van Zandt?
''I grew up in north Alabama back in the 1970s, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. I'm speaking, of course, of the three great Alabama icons: George Wallace, Bear Bryant, and Ronnie Van Zant. Now, Ronnie Van Zant wasn't from Alabama, he was from Florida. He was a huge Neil Young fan but in the tradition of Merle Haggard writing "Okie From Muskogee" to tell his dad's point of view on the hippies in Vietnam, Ronnie felt that the other side of the story should be told. Neil Young always claimed that "Sweet Home Alabama" was one of his favorite songs and legend has it that he was an honorary pallbearer at Ronnie's funeral, such is the duality of the Southern Thing...''
Billy Bragg (words by Woody Guthrie) - Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key
"I lived in a place called Okfuskee
And I had a little girl in a holler tree
I said, "little girl, it's plain to see
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me"

The Gear Daddies - (I Wanna Drive the) Zamboni
Ever since I was young
It’s been my dream
That I might drive the Zamboni machine
I’d get that ice just as slick as could be
And all the kids would look up to me
I wanna drive the Zamboni
I wanna drive the Zamboni
Yes I do
I've never heard the two songs for South Carolina. Probably shoukd be something by Hootie at this point.
The Outlaws - 'South Carolina'
Drove in from Texas, tired of being alone
It's so far to find a love on your own
Now we'll be sharing all these days together, you and me
It's good to find out just exactly what we want to be
South Carolina, stars in her eyes
Blue Ridge Mountain, home in the sky
Laundry's glowing on the afternoon line
Sun'll dry them as long as it shines
