Originally formed in 1964 as the "Noble Five" in Jacksonville, Florida, the band rose to worldwide recognition on the basis of its driving live performances and signature tunes "Sweet Home Alabama," and "Free Bird."

Thirty days, Lord and thirty nights
I'm comin' home on an airplane flight
Mama waitin' 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 feelin' so sick inside
Got to get better, Lord, before I die
Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said
You better quit, son, before you're dead

Quit the needle, quit the spoon
Quit the trip to the moon
We're gonna take you away, Lord, gonna take you away

It was the needle and the spoon

I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool
But then again, Lord, I've seen a lot of fools
Well, I hope you people, Lord, can hear what I say
You'll have your chance to hit it some day

Don't mess with the needle or a spoon
Or any trip to the moon
It will take you away

Lord, they gonna bury you, boy
Don't mess with the needle
Now I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
