Title
- (Allen Collins - Ronnie Van Zant)
- Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
- Oak tree you're in my way
- There's too much coke and too much smoke
- Look what's going on inside you
- Ooooh that smell
- Can't you smell that smell
- Ooooh that smell
- The smell of death surrounds you
- Angel of darkness is upon you
- Stuck a needle in your arm
- So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
- One more drink fool, will drown you
- Ooooh that smell
- Can't you smell that smell
- Ooooh that smell
- The smell of death surrounds you
- Now they call you Prince Charming
- Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
- Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
- But tomorrow might not be here for you
- Ooooh that smell
- Can't you smell that smell
- Ooooh that smell
- The smell of death surrounds you
- Hey, you're a fool you
- Stick them needles in your arm
- I know I been there before
- One little problem that confronts you
- Got a monkey on your back
- Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
- One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
- Ooooh that smell
- Can't you smell that smell
- Ooooh that smell
- The smell of death surrounds you
- Ooooh that smell
- Can't you smell that smell
- Ooooh that smell
- The smell of death surrounds you
- (Gary Rossington - Ronnie Van Zant)
- How can you stand there smilin'
- After all you've done
- You know it seems to make you happy
- When you've hurt someone
- Twice before you fooled me
- With your deceivin' and lyin'
- Come in and close the door
- One more time, one more time
- Yeah you've been gone so long
- No one knows where
- And you say that you still love me
- Then show me you care
- 'Cause you got what it takes sweet mama
- To make a man feel fine
- So I'll take the word of a liar
- One more time, one more time
- Girl you've got me hungry
- Losin' my mind
- I know I'm playin' with fire
- Get burned everytime
- Yes I'm a fool for you baby I can't deny
- But I got to have your sweet love
- One more time, one more time
- Girl you've got me hungry
- Losin' my mind
- I know I'm playin' with fire
- I get burned everytime
- Yes I'm a fool for you mama I can't deny
- But I got to have your sweet love
- One more time, one more time
- Yes I'm her fool once more
- I can read her brown eyes
- But when the rooster crows tomorrow
- Well its her turn to cry
- I'm headed down that old road
- She lost her free ride
- So tonight I'll take what I paid for
- One more time, one more time
- One more time
- (Steve Gaines)
- Yes sir
- Well the bigger the city, well the brighter the lights
- The bigger the dog, well the harder the bite
- I don't know where you been last night
- But I think mama, you ain't doin' right
- [Chorus:]
- Say I know a little
- I know a little about it
- I know a little
- I know a little 'bout it
- I know a little 'bout love
- And baby I can guess the rest
- Well now I don't read that daily news
- 'Cause it ain't hard to figure
- Where people get the blues
- They can't dig what they can't use
- If they stick to themselves
- They'd be much less abused
- [Chorus]
- Play me a little, oh yeah
- Yeah
- Well if you want me to be your only man
- Said listen up mama, teach you all I can
- Do right baby, by your man
- Don't worry mama, teach you all I can
- [Chorus]
- Well I know a little 'bout love
- Baby I want your best
- (Steve Gaines - Ronnie Van Zant)
- Well I've heard lots of people say
- They're gonna settle down
- You don't see their faces
- And they don't come around
- Well I'm not that way
- I got to move along
- I like to drink and to dance all night
- Comes to a fix not afraid to fight
- You got that right
- Said, you got that right
- Sure got that right
- Seems so long I been out on my own
- Travel light and I'm always alone
- Guess I was born with a travellin' bone
- When my times up, I'll hold my own
- You won't find me in an old folks home
- You got that right
- Well you got that right
- Said, you got that right
- Sure got that right
- I tried everything in my life
- Things I like I try 'em twice
- You got that right
- Sure got that right
- Travellin' around the world, just singing my song
- I got to go, Lord I can't stay long
- Here comes that ol' travellin' jones once again
- I like to drink and to dance all night
- Comes to a fix not afraid to fight
- You got that right
- Said, you got that right
- Well you got that right
- Sure got that right
- (Ronnie Van Zant - Steve Gaines)
- My daddy told me always be strong son
- Don't you ever cry
- You find the pretty girls and then you love them
- Then you say goodbye
- I never dreamed that you would leave me
- But now you're gone
- I never dreamed that I would miss you
- Woman won't you come back home
- I never dreamed that you could hurt me
- And leave me blue
- I've had a thousand, maybe more
- But never one like you
- I never dreamed I could feel so empty
- But now I'm down
- I never dreamed that I would beg you
- Woman I need you now
- It seems to me I took your love for granted
- It feels to me that this time I was wrong, so wrong
- Oh Lord now I feel so lonely
- I say woman won't you come back home
- I tried to do what my daddy taught me
- But I think he knew
- Someday that I would find one woman like you
- I never dreamed that it could feel so good, Lord
- That two could be one
- I never knew about sweet love
- So woman won't you come back home
- Oh baby won't you come back home
- (Steve Gaines)
- Ain't 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 don't pray
- Lord, that don't mean I ain't forgiven
- Just 'cause I'm alive
- That don't mean I'm makin' a livin'
- I'm gonna get myself together
- I'm gonna try a dyin' attempt
- Talkin' about the good times slippin' by
- Yeah I tell ya
- I don't even know where last month went
- Well I can't make no money baby
- Well 'cause my money's already spent
- And I know where it went
- I said it went on that damn rent
- Well I don't mean change, baby
- I mean foldin' money
- Well I want lovin', said I don't need a buddy
- I don't need nobody, now
- Ain't exactly my idea
- Its sort of old, borrowed and blue
- Just tryin' to say
- Don't try that straight life buddy
- Oh you'll find it kind of hard on you
- Women, don't try to cook nothin' up, ooh
- Brother you know you'll only wind up in your own stew
- Just don't let nobody tell you, oh what you oughta do
