Lynyrd Skynyrd - Needle And The Spoon lyrics

Thirty days, Lord, and thirty nights.

I'm coming home on an aeroplane flight.

Mama waiting at the ticket line,

tell me, son, why do you stand there cryin'?

It was the needle and the spoon

and a trip to the moon

took me away,

took me away.

I've been feeling so sick inside.

Got to get better, Lord, before I die.

Some doctors couldn't help my head,

they said, you'd better quit, son, before you're dead.

With the needle, with the spoon,

with the trip to the moon,

they gonna take you away,

they gonna take you away.

I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool

but the again, Lord, I've seen a lot of fools.

I hope you people, Lord, can hear what I say,

you'll have your chance in this some day.

Don't mess with a needle or a spoon

or a trip to the moon

or they'll take you away.

- Allen Collins & Ronnie Van Zant
