Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones

Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones, spelled with all four Y's

Was born in 70-something, 'tween "Sweet Home" and "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 'til 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 pawnshop-bought guitar

You can't teach that kind of pickin', it's gotta come right from your heart

Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones hailed from Gadsden, Alabama

Callеd to carry on who his mama was a fan of

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

That's what she always told him, right up 'til the day she died, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

When Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones' mama passed away

A dressed-in-all-black black man stood up in 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
