Lynyrd Skynyrd has always been about writing songs and talking to people through them. That's what we do, and that's what we'll keep doing for as long as we can.
I always try to relate a song to something what is going on, the working man, the times, how life goes.
My dad was a truck driver. We all used to ride along with him. And the way he'd keep awake was to sing while he was going down the road. So we all joined in.
My dad was a truck driver, and from the time I was knee high to a grapevine, I was driving a truck.
Whatever people want to say, we go out there every night, and we give tribute to the songs that my brother wrote, to Ronnie and Allen Collins and Steve Gaines and Leon Wilkeson and everybody. We pay tribute every night to those people who have gone on.
If you're only a fan of the old music, that music's gonna wind up sounding even older.
