Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones
Spelled with all 4 y's
Was born in seventy-something, between Sweet Home & You Got That Right
[Verse 2]
His Mama met his Daddy
At a Tallahassee show
But just like Tuesday, Daddy wound up gone on down the road
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones hailed from Gadsden, Alabama
Called 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, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 6]
When Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones'
Mama passed away
A dressed in all black, black man, stood up in the back to say
[Verse 7]
"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
