This song reminds me so much of someone I knew. Its such a beautiful song.
Saw the original line-up in 1976. Saw them in 1982 at the fairgrounds. The last time was at Bayfest a few years ago. The Van Zant guys are so talented. I do like the Shinedown version also-Brent has a beautiful voice.
<3 <3 <3 love this song so much!!!

I could really line some Jews up and kill them while listening to this music Lynyrd Skynyrd would want the Jews dead F U C K everyone
Gah I love this song but I swear Pandora knows when I've been drinking and/or am more likely to get sentimental. Gets me every time.
Hey Red open up your lock.
Some sunny day.

Dont read this because it actually works. You will get kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However if you don't post this you will die in 2 days. Now you've started reading so don't stop. This is so scary put this on at least 5 songs in 143 minutes when done press f6 and your lover's name will appear on the screen in big letters this is so scary beacause it actually works!
Rip. Ronnie.

I remember hearing this song as a little girl. My Dad loved rock =} still does!! Now that I have a little boy, (who is named after my dad) I intend to encourage another generation of rockers and a Simple kind of man! this song is on my list of faves!!!!


Great vocals and lyrics a true classic.
If it's a great song, it's not too long.
What is this song doing on a creed station?
A great song but too long.
This is awesome and a classic. How can you hate it. I don't like all of their songs but I still like the band and if you don't you need to pull your head out.
That's the truth
Those were the days
