Lynyrd skynyrd jones

Spelled with all 4 y's

Was born in seventy-something, between sweet home & you got that right.

His mama met his daddy

At a tallahassee show

But just like tuesday, daddy wound up gone on down the road.

Lynyrd skynyrd jones hailed from gadsden, alabama

Born to carry on who his mama was a fan of

Don't ask me no questions and I won't tell you no lies

That's what she always told him right up till the day she died.

Lynyrd wasn't black or white, he was somewhere in between

Throw in abandoned and confused and you get the blues when you're just thirteen

Well he found his salvation

In a pawn shop bought guitar

You can't teach that kind of pickin'

It's got to come right from your heart.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...

When lynyrd skynyrd jones'

Mama passed away

A dressed in all black, black man, stood up in the back to say.

"Been thinking about your mama"

"Since that tallahassee show"

"Yeah son, I am your daddy and my name is curtis loew"

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
