"Skynyrd" lyrics

The first time I heard Lynyrd
Was on the bench seat there with her
We were cutting paths out through the pines
In my daddy's old Ford
With a three tree on the floor
Seen a few generation's first times

We didn't know the band but that cassette dial was on ten
It was cool enough for us, if it was cool to my old man

We were Free as a Bird
Learning every damn word
To Simple Man and Gimme Three Steps
But when she headed back Sweet Home
I felt Curtis Loew
When she went Tuesday's Gone with the wind
And I've never heard Skynyrd the same way again

When she's in smoking bars
And she hears them guitars
Yeah I wonder does she think of me
They say young love don't last
But just like that plane crash
Me and her went down in history

And we were Free as a Bird
Learning every damn word
To Simple Man and Gimme Three Steps
But when she headed back Sweet Home
I felt Curtis Loew
When she went Tuesday's Gone with the wind
And I've never heard Skynyrd the same way again

We were Free as a Bird
Learning every damn word
To Simple Man and Gimme Three Steps
But when she headed back Sweet Home
I felt Curtis Loew
When she went Tuesday's Gone with the wind
And I've never heard Skynyrd the same way again
