Full Moon Night Rick Medlocke/Gary Rossington/Hughie Thomasson/Johnny Van Zant On a foggy road just before sunrise Don't you lose control, you could lose your life You keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes straight ahead Don't forget what the good book says You think it can never happen to you But it happens all the time On a full moon night, something ain't right Didn't see it 'til about midnight When it happened it seemed kind of weird Things like this seem to appear From the shadows of a full moon night Never had a clock that goes at night That was the way of the simple life Right down the road come a big surprise Man shot his wife than took his own life You think, it can never happen to you But it happens all the time On a full moon, something ain't right Started out as an innocent fight Never should have happened, not around here Things like this seem to appear From the shadows of a full moon night On a full moon, something ain't right Didn't see it 'til about midnight But when it happened it seemed kind of weird Things like this seem to appear From the shadows On a full moon, something ain't right Started out as an innocent fight Never should have happened, not around here Things like this seem to appear From the shadows of a full moon night |

Tomorrow's Goodbye Gary Burr/Rick Medlocke/Gary Rossington/Hughie Thomasson/Johnny Van Zant I'm just a city boy But there's a small town side to me And I feel it closin' in Are we too blind to see That she's dying more each day And she's cryin' out to you and me Chances come and when they're gone They curse the fools who wait too long So let's take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades and just slips away The dirty air, they dying seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young I say, just look at what we've done And right before our yes Today's yesterday Could be tomorrow's goodbye Here comes the rain And it might wash her tears away But it doesn't change a thing Like my brother before me All I can do is write this song And for her I sing Chances come and when they're gone They carve in stone what we've done wrong So let's take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades and just slips away The dirty air, the dying seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young I say, just look at what we've done And right before our eyes Today's yesterday Could be tomorrow's goodbye Do you ever think about The future or the past Do you ever wonder How long this world will last Let's take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades and just slips away The dirty air, the dying seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young I said, just look at what we've done And right before our eyes Yeah, it's right before our eyes Today's yesterday Could be tomorrow's goodbye |

Through It All Robert White Johnson/Jim Peterik/Johnny Van Zant Dig down and tell me what you find Back in the pages left behind Everybody's got a story Ours ain't no different from the rest Each step we take, it's just a test On this broken road to glory When we were young and brave We fought to save the one thing that we loved We took the scared vow and signed our names in blood And through it all, we kept on shining We fought the doubt and faced the pain We built it up from dust and ashes To cheat the odds and rise again There's been a million miles of road Another million miles to go Still giving me a reason Most times your first could be your last God give me one more second chance Oh something to believe in Though it's easier to give it up Then to give it all you got Don't let it make you something that you're not And through it all, we kept on shining We fought the doubt and faced the pain We built it up from dust and ashes To cheat the odds and rise again And through it all the wheels kept turning Above the tears the truth stands tall, yeah Here we are, one in spirit We stand together through it all Oh, through it all When we were young and brave We fought to save the one thing that we loved We took the scared vow and signed our names in blood The wheels keep turning, through it all Oh, through it all |
