Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones - Eric Church

Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones

Spelled with all 4 y’s

Was born in 70-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 13

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

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

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 Lowe
