Lynyrd Skynyrd - Blame It On A Sad Song - lyrics

(gary rossington -- johnny vanzant -- rickey medlocke -- hughie thomasson)
Here I sit all by myself
Wonderin how she could put our love on a shelf
A crowd of people, they pass me by
But all I can do is hang my head and cry
(chorus)
Blame it on a sad song in the night
I dont want anyone but you to make it right
Blame it on a sad song in the night
Well, its an old familiar feelin
Girl, its got my heart reelin
Dont want to hear a sad song in the night
Anymore
I know when we first started out
I was your only love and you had no doubt
But songs of the heart dont last forever
But dont you give up on love cause you never say never
Blame it on a sad song in the night
I dont want anyone but you to make it right
Blame it on a sad song in the night
Well, its an old familiar feelin
Girl, its got my heart reelin
Dont want to hear a sad song in the night
Anymore
cause not a day goes by that I dont think about you
Oh, moment to moment, I get lost in time
And many years from now when I hear that song come on the radio
All those feelings will come back to haunt me
My heart will let me know
Blame it on a sad song in the night
I dont want anyone but you to make it right
Blame it on a sad song in the night
Well, its an old familiar feelin
Girl, its got my heart reelin
Dont want to hear a sad song anymore
Blame it on a sad song
You can blame it on a sad song, baby
Blame it on, blame it on a sad song

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Am I Losin' - lyrics

(allen collins - ronnie vanzant)
I recall when I used to come home never had a dime
But lord I always had a good time
And I recall drinkin wine with one of my friends
Lord, I cant go back again
(chorus)
Am I losin my own way back home
Am I losin a good friend that Ive known
Am I losin wont you tell me how Ive sinned
Why am I losin one of my bets friends
And I recall this friend of mine I knew so well
It goes to show lord you just cant tell
Now my friend wont talk to me let me tell you why
He thinks I ve changed because of a dollar sign
(chorus)
And its so strange when you get just a little money
Your so called friends want to act just a little funny
Theyll blame you
But Im not the one thats here to blame
Its you my friend thats really changed
Its a shame, such a shame
Am I losin once again
Why these things happen, lord I dont understand
But lord it can sure hurt a man
Why my friend wont take me as I am
cause your friend lord is the most important thing
(chorus)

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Born To Run - lyrics

(gary rossington, johnny van-zant, ed king, donnie van zant)
Theres an old man sittin on a front porch now
Talkin bout how it used to be
When I was young I was a hell of a man
My father died when I was ten
I hit the road to find a job
Had to feed my family
Times were hard my hands are still scarred
From the life Ive had to lead
I was born to run
Drove a tractor and trailer all my life
Six kids and a hell of a wife
Made lots of money it all slipped away
A large family thats the price you pay
I always dreamed never gave up
Son, even when times got tough
Thats when Id push it a little bit more
You shouldve heard that engine roar
(chorus)
I was born to run
Cant slow down
No regrets, Ive been blessed
Born to run
In time youll see what the good lords done for me
Born to run
I cant slow down
No regrets, I did my best
Born to run
In time youll see
What the good lords done, done for me
The old man, he passed away
And all he said never crossed my mind
Until I saw the price he payed
Was a lot like mine
Im full and though its miles away
Gotta hit the city right on time
And when Im on Ill always sing little song of mine
I was born to run
(repeat chorus)

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Blues Medley - lyrics

Blues Medley (Recorded 1970)
(Ronnie Van Zant vocals, Allen Collins and Gary Rossington guitars)
Got a sweet little angel mama
Lord and I love the way she spreads her wings
I got a sweet little angel mama
Lord and I love the way she spreads her wings
Spreads her wings Lord
All around my everything
Oh she makes me wanna get up and sing
I asked my ol' lady for a nickel ya'll
Lord ya know she gave me a 20 dollar bill
I asked my ol' lady for a nickel people
Lord ya know she give me a 20 dollar bill
And I asked her for a little shot of liquor
No she bought me a whiskey still
And I bought you a new Ford
Say you want a Cadillac
Bought ya a ten dollar dinner
You said thanks for the snack
I let you live in my penthouse
And you called it a shack
Gave you seven younguns
Now you wanna give 'em all back
(Guitar solo)
Do you feel it baby

So don't come lookin' mama
Or ever hopin', ever hopin', ever hopin' to come back
Cause it's all over, it's all over lady
Mama you can bet your sweet life on......
Guitar solo : )

Lynyrd Skynyrd - All Funked Up - lyrics

Oooohhh....
Ahhhhhhhhh....
Tornados spinnin', I sit here grinnin'
I think we've all seen this movie before
This is confusin', almost amusin'
It's hard to tell up and down anymore
When did it get so crazy, how did we lose control
Everybodies shouting, how bad it really sucks
Situation normal
All funked up, We're all funked up
We had some leaders, and they were cheaters
But they came out smelling like a rose
We should reject them, but we respect them
For what they do when the door is closed
Nothing in this world a simple man can do
Stand up and be counted, ain't you had enough
Situation normal
All funked up, Yeah we're all funked up
We're funtionally disfuntional
We're funtionally yeah disfuntional
We're all funked up
Uuughh....
Don't you know the meaning of the word snafu
Better known as trouble for me and you
Murphy's law will get ya, he's on his way
Same ol' same ol' shit a different day
Uuughh....
Oh...
Tornados spinnin', I sit here grinnin'
I think we've all seen this movie before
This is confusin', almost amusin'
It's hard to tell up and down anymore
Everybodies shouting, how bad it really sucks
Situation normal
All funked up, we're all funked up...
We're all funked up...
We're all funked up...
Ooooohhhhh....
All funked up...

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Ain't No Good Life - lyrics

(steve gaines)
Aint no good life
Not the one that I lead
cause the more I fight the sadness, yeah
It only seems the more that I grieve
Well I look back on the good times
As some lost part of me
I wanna know, tell me why is it so
Well just because I dont pray
Lord, that dont mean I aint forgiven
Just cause Im alive
That dont mean Im makin a livin
Im gonna get myself together
Im gonna try a dyin attempt
Talkin about the good times slippin by
Yeah I tell ya
I dont even know where last month went
Well I cant make no money baby
Well cause my moneys already spent
And I know where it went
I said it went on that damn rent
Well I dont mean change, baby
I mean foldin money
Well I want lovin, said I dont need a buddy
I dont need nobody, now
Aint exactly my idea
Its sort of old, borrowed and blue
Just tryin to say
Dont try that straight life buddy
Oh youll find it kind of hard on you
Women, dont try to cook nothin up, ooh
Brother you know youll only wind up in your own stew
Just dont let nobody tell you, oh what you oughta do

Lynyrd Skynyrd - All I Have Is A Song - lyrics

(gary rossington - johnny vanzant)
These ol white lines on the highway
Lord its all I know
Seems like Ive been out all my life
But I just cant let it go
Oh you know I aint complainin
Cause I can tell, lord its just your plan
So I thank you for what I have
And thats a song
All I have is a song
I keep thinkin about the friends Ive had
And all the meories weve shared
They keep comin back, time and time again
Sometimes I wonder was it worth the cost
And all Ive lost
Oh you know I aint complainin
Cause I can tell, lord its just your plan
So I thank you for what I have
And thats a song
All I have is a song
So I play this song one more time, cause lord its all I know
Ill be standin at your door following along
cause all I have is a song
And this song will live on
All I have is a song
A piece of me to live on

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Berneice - lyrics

(dennis e sumner -- gary rossington -- johnny vanzant -- rickey medlocke -- hughie thomasson)
I can still remember I was eight years old
The first time that I picked her up little did I know
Shes taken me to places that Ive never been
Did my first gig in a rock-n-roll band
Berneice, sweet berneice
Get a real job let the guitar go
There aint no future in this rock-n-roll
So go for your guitars, go for your guns
Better think twice its three against one
Take your best shot its a showdown now
Berneice, sweet berneice
Oh, berneice wont you play for me
A guitar woman needs a guitar man
One without the other, neither one of them can stand
Remember where we came from we can do it all again
So thanks to all you people, give youselves a hand
Berneice, sweet berneice
Berneice, wont you play for me

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Best Things In Life - lyrics

(gary rossington, tom keifer, johnnyvan-zant)
Ive got a sayin in my life thats got me by so far
Well it mat not be right but, nobodys gonna tell me Im wrong
The first mistake is leave it up to somebody else
If you want somethin done you got to do it yourself
Ill do it myself before somebody makes a fool out of me
(chorus)
cause nothin comes easy for a man like me
Everybody thinks the best things in life are free
If they would open their eyes itd be so plain to see
That the best things in life dont come so easily
I met a man who thought just a little bit different from me
He said you got it so easy but I just had to disagree
It would have been alright but he pushed me too far
If your lookin for trouble step outside of this bar
If it comes down to fistin, mister that aint nothin new to me
(repeat chorus)
Youll find in this life if theres somethin that you believe
You got to get your hands dirty when its somethin that you really need
If they ever give you somethin too easily
Cant be too good, cause nothin goods for free
Tell ya straight from the heart a bed of roses it will never be

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Backstreet Crawler - lyrics

(r. hall, e. king, g. rossington)
I snuck around the corner he had this guy down
I through the first punch thats when he hit the ground
To survive in the street you gotta win the first round
cause if you want eat you gotta be the baddest one around
Im a backstreet crawler
Daddy paid for college I earned a degree
Got a job up on wall street
Where I learned to make the little man bleed
Thats when I got stomped like a cattle stampede
Had a nervous breakdown all my friends and family left me
(chorus)
Yeah Im a backstreet crawler
When you see them on the concrete its their spirit thats harder
Yeah Im a backstreet crawler
Where your ego meets defeat and your pride cant get no smaller
Yeah Im a backstreet crawler
Yeah Im a backstreet crawler
I guess you might say it sure is a shame
I used to have everything oh how my life has changed
Yeah Im broken and torn Ive never been free
Lost everything that meant a thing to me
(repeat chorus)
