(Ed King, Johnny Van Zant)
I don't read the paper, I don't watch the news
Life's good in this small town, population 62
Our bank ain't been held up since 1932
Our doors are always unlocked
But not for long I'm tellin' you
(chorus)
'Cause I know time's are gonna change
I know life will never be the same
I see please tell me it ain't so
They're all movin' in surroundin' me
No place left to go
My oh my you can kiss your freedom goodbye
Used to have a small town drugstore
Where old men liked to meet
That store's gone out of business
They're sellin' drugs out in the streets
The new kids like to spray paint
They've got a lot to say
Sure do have a way with words
Taught me a few today
(chorus)
'Cause I know time's are gonna change
I know life will never be the same
I see small town folks like me
Are gonna have to change the way we do things cause eventually
My oh my you can kiss your freedom goodbye
Kiss it goodbye
(repeat 1st chorus)
(repeat 2nd chorus)

Lynyrd Skynyrd è una leggendaria band americana di Southern Rock formatasi a Jacksonville, in Florida, nel 1964. Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo internazionale negli anni '70 con un sound caratterizzato da riff bluesy, testi evocativi del Sud degli Stati Uniti e virtuosismi chitarristici. I Lynyrd Skynyrd sono noti per brani iconici come "Sweet Home Alabama", "Free Bird" e "Simple Man". La band ha subito una tragedia nel 1977 con l'incidente aereo che ha portato alla morte di tre membri fondatori, tra cui il chitarrista Allen Collins. Nonostante questo duro colpo, i Lynyrd Skynyrd sono tornati in attività negli anni '80 e continuano ad essere un punto di riferimento per il Southern Rock, influenzando generazioni di musicisti.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
