Lyrics

[Intro] I wanna send this out to, uh, all of y'all In this community This song's about how rock and roll saved my life as a teenager Every damn word of this song is true [Verse 1] Dropped acid, Blue Oyster Cult concert, fourteen years old And I thought them lasers were a spider chasing me Made my way home, I got pulled over in Rogersville, Alabama With a half-ounce of weed and a case of Sterling Big Mouth My buddy Gene was driving, he just barely turned sixteen And I'd like to say, "I'm sorry", but I ain't sorry for a goddamn thing I've ever done in my entire motherfuckin' life 'Cause I lived to tell about it And I plan on livin' to do much more crazy, fucked-up shit [Chorus] And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd, but I sure saw Molly Hatchet With .38 Special and the Johnny Van Zant Band [Verse 2] When I was seventeen, I drank a fifth of vodka On an empty stomach, then I drove over to a friend's house And I backed my car between his parents' Cadillacs without a scratch And crawled to the back door and slithered through the mail hole And I sneaked up them stairs, puked in the toilet And I passed out and nearly drowned but his sister, Deedee, pulled me out [Chorus] And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd, but I sure saw Molly Hatchet And the band that I was in played "The Boys are Back in Town" [Verse 3] And Skynyrd was set to play in Huntsville, Alabama In the spring of '77, I had my ticket, but it got cancelled And they said, "Hang on to your ticket stub, young man, and have no fear Because the show has been rescheduled For the "Street Survivors Tour" And as we all know, the rest is history [Chorus] So I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd, but I sure saw Ozzy Osbourne With Randy Rhoads in '82 right before that plane crash And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd, but I sure saw AC/DC Bon Scott singing, "Let There Be Rock Tour" With Bon Scott singing, "Let There Be Rock Tour" With Bon Scott singing, Let There Be Rock [Outro] All the love in Richmond, Virginia, we wanna hear you motherfuckers rock Thank you so much
