Sweet potato pies are usually made by mixing creamed, boiled sweet potatoes with various ingredients, including sugar, milk, and eggs. This mixture is baked into a pie crust, and is often topped with whipped cream. Yum yum! (Perkins, "The Laurel Health Cookery", 1911).

Answer: Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)

The album version is slightly longer and includes semi-trailer truck and citizen's band radio sound effects.

Answer: looking back again

"Gone With the Wind" is a classic novel about the South during the Civil War. The title derives from a poem by Ernest Dowson called "Non Sum Qualis eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae". Alabama sings about the changes affecting rural Southern America, noting that people are looking forward to the future--not back to what had once been. This is an especially telling lyric, as Southerners in the United States have historically been very attached to the past, including their own heritage and traditions.

21. "Well somebody told us ___ fell But we were so poor that we couldn't tell" What entity collapsed?

From Quiz Song of the South

Answer: Wall Street

Wall Street is the geographic location in New York City where many of the United States' stock exchanges conduct business. The stock market crashed on October 29, 1929 and was considered a harbinger of The Great Depression. Many Americans had enjoyed unprecedented economic success in the early 1920s and prior, so the crash on Black Tuesday sent shock waves across the nation--indeed, the world. In this song, however, Alabama points out that many people never enjoyed the good economic times anyway, so the fall of Wall Street had little immediate impact upon them. ("Stock Market Crash of 1929", Money-Zine.com, 2007)

22. "They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places. To grace us with their mercies in our time of need. Oh I believe..."

From Quiz Alabama Music

From Quiz Alabama's "Forty Hour Week"

From Quiz Song of the South

Answer: tall

This line is another reference to the barren cotton fields and bleak conditions farmers were faced with in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The cotton, which represents prosperity and livelihood to farmers, was being overtaken by weeds, the literal and metaphoric representation of ruin. "Farmers not only faced a global economic slowdown of historic proportions, but they also faced one of the worst and longest droughts in America's history". (livinghistoryfarm.org)

25. "Fly away with me tonight. Take me on a one-way flight in your lovin' arms and everything's gonna be alright."

From Quiz Alabama Music

Answer: "Take Me Down"

This was another number one hit. It was on the "Mountain Music" album, released by the RCA label in 1982. That year Alabama carried away the Grammy, three awards from CMA, and two from The Academy Of Country Music.

Next line: "Why lady why, can't I get over you." Alabama's second number one hit song was released August 1980 from their first studio album on the RCA label, "My Home's In Alabama" and subsequently certified 2x platinum. The song was co-written by bass guitarist/vocalist, Teddy Gentry.
