If I fouled one off of third, Bob,
Would you dodge the ball in time?
I’d hate to see you knocked out
And you know I’m not lyin’.
But if that liner gets you,
We could just stop this ol’ game
And start jammin’ in your carport
Maybe choose a catchy name
Gary’s warmin’ up on gittar —
Use Mr. Skinner for the name? —
Baseball’s cool, but this band’s better,
And this band you cannot change
Oh oh oh oh
And this band you cannot change
Oh oh oh oh
And this band you cannot change
(Until you leave) It cain’t change….
RIP Gary Rossington (1951-2023), original guitarist and last surviving member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
