The lyric is "Us Southern men don't need him around, anyhow"

and, fun fact, the members of LS became pretty good friends with Neil Young later on, and as a matter of record, he wrote this in one of his autobiographies:

In Young's 2012 autobiography Waging Heavy Peace, he commented on his song: "My own song 'Alabama' richly deserved the shot Lynyrd Skynyrd gave me with their great record. I don't like my words when I listen to it. They are accusatory and condescending, not fully thought out, and too easy to misconstrue."
