One Thing Gary Rossington/Johnny Van Zant/Ed King/Dale Krantz-Rossington/Custer I met the man, when I was fifteen Seen him in all the papers, on t.v. and magazines So I had to ask him, what’s the difference between Those who make a wish, those who spin wheels And those who ride in white limosines like you,mister Won’t you tell me one thing Some have the passion and they control the ride Some settle for whatever happens As years pass they see their lives just slip on by The world keeps a’ turnin’ It’ll leave you behind Nothin’ else matters, nothin’s worth learnin’ Until the dream you have inside It’s the one thing, the one thing there’s no denyin’ So find yourself a dream and some piece of mind ’cause money and power won’t buy it It’s the one thing, nothin’ else matters And somewhere you might have heard the good times are through And good luck is somethin’ you’re born with I know it just ain’t true The world keeps a’ turnin’ I wouldn’t tell you no lie Nothin’ else matters, nothin’s worth learnin’ Until the dream that you have inside |

Can't Take That Away Johnny Van Zant/Robert Johnson/Michael Lunn What can they all be thinkin’ Wanna’ take the cross off of the hill Put away the pledge of allegience Lord,just the thought gives me a chill They can take God off our money but, in the end ’o ain’t it funny How were all gonna see him on the judgement day So sing it loud One more time Hear what you say When you got the truth inside, now they can’t take that away One more time ’cause it ain’t too late Hold on to what you believe ’cause thay can’t take that They can’t take that away They want to change somethin’ somewhere for everybody Right now a change ain’t what we need Just like my father’s father before him They held on with pride to everything they believed They can take God off our money but, in the end ’o ain’t it funny How were all gonna see him on the judgement day There’s a fire that burns forever Come a day we ain’t gonna take no more |

Best Things in Life Gary Rossington/Tom Keifer/Johnny Van Zant Ive got a sayin in my life thats got me by so far Well it mat not be right but, nobodys gonna tell me Im wrong The first mistake is leave it up to somebody else If you want somethin done you got to do it yourself Ill do it myself before somebody makes a fool out of me cause nothin comes easy for a man like me Everybody thinks the best things in life are free If they would open their eyes itd be so plain to see That the best things in life dont come so easily I met a man who thought just a little bit different from me He said you got it so easy but I just had to disagree It would have been alright but he pushed me too far If your lookin for trouble step outside of this bar If it comes down to fistin, mister that aint nothin new to me Youll find in this life if theres somethin that you believe You got to get your hands dirty when its somethin that you really need If they ever give you somethin too easily Cant be too good, cause nothin goods for free Tell ya straight from the heart a bed of roses it will never be |

The Last Rebel Gary Rossington/Johnny Van Zant/Robert Johnson/Michael Lunn There's a grey horse standin' still As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride As the rain pours off his hat You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes Now the cannons are silent His friends are all gone Gotta put it all behind him If he ever wants to find his way home He's the last rebel on the road Just a boy with his old guitar Keeps to himself but everybody takes him wrong But he carries on Got a dream that will never die Can't change him, no use in stayin' where you don't belong Now he's rollin' down the highway Gone too far too fast No one will ever find him, he'll never look back 'Cause he's the last rebel And he's all alone He's the last rebel His friends are all gone He's the last rebel The last rebel on the road There'll never be another like him He's the last of a dying breed Ain't no use in tryin' to tame him 'Cause he's the last rebel |

Outta Hell In My Dodge Randall Hall/Johnny Van Zant/Ed King/Robert Johnson Five A.M. in the mornin', whiskey still runnin' through my head I could get out of bed and maybe I'll just have another cigarette As long as I can remember seems all I've ever done is work The boss is a jerk and I ain't payin' the rent Spent my whole life shovelin' dirt (chorus) I'm gonna get outta Hell in my Dodge Can't take this anymore Gonna go downtown pick up my girl There ain't nothin' worth waitin' for Take the road less traveled Spend my life behind the wheel Gonna get outta Hell in my Dodge Freedom made out of steel There's a knock on the door from the Sheriff Askin' me where I was last night Seems somebody lookin' a lot like me Had takin' up with his wife He said son if I ever catch him There's gonna be some hell to pay He'll be gone for good if I see him again 'Cause I just might blow him away What's a poor man supposed to do Stuck in the middle and trapped by the blues Baby, I'm sick of these blues I'm gonna get outta Hell in my Dodge Can't take this anymore Gonna go downtown pick up my girl There ain't nothin' worth waitin' for Well I Don't care if I'm wrong or right Gotta split this town tonight Gonna get outta Hell in my Dodge Live my life behind the wheel I'm Gonna get outta Hell in my Dodge My freedom made out of steel |

Love Don't Always Come Easy Ed King/Johnny Van Zant Two young lovers meet and take each others hand They say I do in the name of the Lord Livin' as one givin' all they can Then the pressures come and a child is born Young girl cradles the child in her arms The man's home late and his day's too long They're both unable to spend some time alone That everybody needs to have That's the thing that keeps love strong Love don't always come easy And sometimes love it can hurt Words don't always come easy It's worth a try we're gonna make it work 'Cause love don't always come easy Without warning many go a different way And travel that road lookin' for someone Their lives unravel a little more every day This ain't no time to turn and run It's a crime to throw it all away |

Born to Run Gary Rossington/Johnny Van Zant/Ed King/Donnie Van Zant There’s an old man sittin’ on a front porch now Talkin’ ’bout how it used to be When I was young I was a hell of a man My father died when I was ten I hit the road to find a job Had to feed my family Times were hard my hands are still scarred From the life I’ve had to lead I was born to run Drove a tractor and trailer all my life Six kids and a hell of a wife Made lots of money it all slipped away A large family that’s the price you pay I always dreamed never gave up Son, even when times got tough That’s when I’d push it a little bit more You should’ve heard that engine roar I was born to run Can’t slow down No regrets, I’ve been blessed Born to run In time you’ll see what the good lord’s done for me Born to run I can’t slow down No regrets, I did my best Born to run In time you’ll see What the good lord’s done, done for me The old man, he passed away And all he said never crossed my mind Until I saw the price he payed Was a lot like mine I’m full and though it’s miles away Gotta hit the city right on time And when I’m on I’ll always sing little song of mine I was born to run |
