Ronnie Van Zant

They were my favorite band When I was just a kid They were my helping hand Through all that I did When it comes to Skynyrd What more can I say A joke on coach Lynyrd Just swept me away Ronnie tried to warn us all About the needle and spoon How far we would fall I was hooked way to soon At the end of it all I try as hard as I can For I no longer fall I’m just a simple man To my life the greatest songwriter/composer That ever lived was Ronnie Van Zant. For Brian's contest. The "Needle & Spoon" & the song Simple Man had the greatest influence on my life. One as a stupid kid the other as a wise old man.
