Sweet Home Alabama

[Whoa Nelly]

It is claimed that Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote this in response to 'Southern Man' by Neil Young. I have also heard that it was another song of his namely 'Alabama' that prompted it.
Any ideas?

Indeed, refer to him in the song....

A southern man dont need him around anyhow
