[00:11.19]Dropped acid, Blue Oyster Cult concert, fourteen years old,
[00:16.31]And I thought them lasers were a spider chasing me.
[00:21.55]On my way home, got pulled over in Rogersville Alabama, with a half-ounce of weed and a case of Sterling Big Mouth.
[00:32.53]My buddy Gene was driving, he just barely turned sixteen.
[00:41.96]
[00:43.08]And I'd like to say, "I'm sorry", but we lived to tell about it
[00:48.01]And we lived to do a whole lot more crazy, stupid, shit.
[00:53.19]And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw Molly Hatchet
[00:58.74]With 38 Special and the Johnny Van Zant Band.
[01:12.03]
[01:15.77]One night when I was seventeen, I drank a fifth of vodka, on an empty stomach, then drove over to a friend's house.
[01:24.59]And I backed my car between his parent's Cadillac's without a scratch.
[01:30.27]Then crawled to the back door and slithered threw the key hole, and sneaked up the stares
[01:37.76]And puked in the toilet.
[01:40.06]I passed out and nearly drowned but his sister, DD, pulled me out.
[01:44.44]And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw Molly Hatchet
[01:49.81]And the band that I was in played "The Boy's are Back in Town".
[01:59.36]
[02:06.29]Skynyrd was set to play Huntsville, Alabama, in the spring of 77, I had a ticket but it got cancelled.
[02:20.14]So, the show, it was rescheduled for the "Street Survivors Tour".
[02:30.12]And the rest, as they say, is history.
[02:35.28]So I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads in 82
[02:43.20]Right before that plane crash.
[02:45.26]And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw AC/DC
[02:50.50]With Bon Scott singing, "Let There Be Rock Tour".
[02:56.11]With Bon Scott singing, LET THERE BE ROCK!
