Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd (pronounced /ˌlɛnərd ˈskɪnərd/ LEN-ərd-SKIN-ərd) is an American rock band best known for popularizing the Southern hard rock genre during the 1970s. 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." At the peak of their success, three members died in an airplane crash in 1977, putting an abrupt end to the band's most popular incarnation. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

There've been times when I
Have stumbled over my mistakes
And there've been times when I
Have fallen flat on my face
But you tell me there's never been
A day like that for you
Then I'll stop and listen
To what you think I should do

Now I can take this pressure
That you think you're handing down
But take off the robe
And put the gavel down
Cause nothing changes in this life
But everything, my friend
Don't go cryin' 'bout today
Because of what has been

Opportunity is for the taking
Look inside yourself, you'll see
Then go clean up your own backyard, 
Leave my yard to me

Now, if the cup had
Really not been meant to pass to me
Surely I would not presume to drink
But there they are
And they're reaching out for me
What else would you have me to think

Opportunity is for the taking
Look inside yourself, you'll see
Then go clean up your own backyard, 
Leave my yard to me

There've been times when I
Have stumbled over my mistakes
And there've been times when I
Have fallen flat on my face
But you tell me there's never been
A day like that for you
Then I'll stop and listen
To what you think I should do

Opportunity is for the taking
Look inside yourself, you'll see
Then go clean up your own backyard, 
Leave my yard to me
