    I was born July 4 1973, was an only son, my mom passed away July 15 1974. I have lived my life by this song like they wrote this from her to me, even though I don't remember her or her voice I picture her saying this to me through them. Seen Shinedown do it live 7 times and I broke down in tears every time.

    This is a masterpiece. Not many songs earn masterpiece status but this one surely does. It's perfection from top to bottom. Every instrument played flawlessly, the singer is on point and every person on the planet can connect personally with the lyrics/meaning of the song.

    Phenomenal Band. Southern Rock at its best. Many great songs ! Like an upbeat daddy “ Call Me the Breeze” Free Bird is the epic rock anthem with so many guitar riffs starts as a Ballad and erupts into a a Masterpiece.
    I’m 73 and the music in the 60’s - 70’s were so varied and Classic. Give CCR a try. Born on the Bayou, You put a Spell on Me, Heard it Thruogh the Grapevine…they had 7 #1 hits in 2 years.

    First time I’m checking your channel out. I really appreciate this. I can not even sing along with this song without breaking down and it’s my favorite song by LS. It was played at my older cousins funeral. One of the most genuine, caring people you would ever meet, died at 23. I watched his daddy stand over his casket, shirt soaking wet from tears, looking at his only son. His dad told him the same thing but he lived a little too fast. I was a 17 year old kid then. I’m 40 now and have taken this song to heart. I live for my family. I enjoy every moment with them. Tell your people that you love them everyday.

He asked his step dad to be his best man and, he and I danced together to this song at his reception! I told him he found a good woman and found love. And, that I was so proud of him for being a simple man!! Thank you for reacting to this super special song!

    5.) The Needle and The Spoon
    6.) Gimme Three Steps

    I believe the story goes. Gary rossington wrote parts based lessons his grandma taught him. I believe they were one of the first to have 3 lead guitar players at one time. Allen collins Gary rossington, and Steve Gaines. The band originated from Jacksonville Florida. The name came from their gym teacher Leonard skinner. Who use to get on to the guys for having long hair

    I love this song. I have always loved the line "All I want for you my son is to be satisfied." If you think carefully that line has a double meaning. She just wants her son to be satisfied with life. But she also only wants her son to be satisfied with life and no more. It is a subtle difference, but it is there.
    You should listen to Rush. Fantastic band with forty-five years of fantastic music.

    I actually sang this to my son starting when he was a baby. Sadly , most of the band members on that album cover were killed not to long into the career of this music. They had some great songs, Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, Free Bird is iconic, Tuesday's Gone and several more. The band did reform with the remaining members and sound just as good, they tour still, but I think someone said their guitarist just died. So I don't know where they go now.
