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 Loew
