Lynyrd Skynyrd - Unwrite That Song Lyrics






Well I heard it on the late night radio
For the umpteenth time headin' from LA to the Florida coast
I was between black coffee and shifting gears
When the second verse took a turn and brought me to tears
They were talkin' about love, I do and forever
And how two people ought to stay together
Well the music hit me but the singer's got it all wrong

Unwrite that song
Unwrite that song
'Cause what he's saying to me don't go with that melody
Unsing them lines about those happy times
Don't they know she's gone
Unwrite that song

Well it was 3 AM and she was cryin' and her eyes were all red
When that music video came on and she sat up in her bed
She grabbed that whiskey bottle
Poured one last shot
And threw that empty glass at the TV and screamed

Unwrite that song
Unwrite that song
'Cause what he's saying to me don't go with that melody
Unsing them lines about those happy times
Don't they know he's gone
Unwrite that song

Well there was a time that I believed
All those words were true
And if I had a pen and paper right now
I know what I'd do...

Unwrite that song
Unwrite that song
'Cause what he's saying to me don't go with that melody
Unsing them lines about those happy times
Don't they know he's gone
Unwrite that song
Lord I know she's gone
Unwrite that song
Unwrite our song

    Love the music and whole sound of Lynyrd. A bit less politics on lyrics would do nice.. but ok, somethings need to be said, despite if I agree ´em or not. Silence is dangerous, not saying things outloud.
    BTW. This piece is beautiful :)

  44. E.... N....

  49. B.... M....

    sothern rock actually. halfway between country and rock

  50. w.... s....

    @chemicull
    This aint country, this is old good rock.

  51. 4.... ....

    1 person is upset that they wrote this song

  52. M.... L....

    is this about Ronnie?

  53. H.... ....

    I was lucky enough to see Skynyrd before tragic plane crash. Skynyrd RULES

  54. B.... ....

    Johnny is one hell of a song writter

  55. M.... S....

    Beautiful song !

  56. T.... ....

    @Mctaggart6412 - Ronnie was the oldest. Donnie was the middle child. Johnny's the youngest.

  57. B.... ....

    LOVE IT.............

  58. S.... ....

    @MyTymeBand08 Something tells me this comment is slightly sarcastic. If not, i'll pray for your family.

  59. G.... ....

    @RhysNlrAfc obviously...

  60. T.... ....

    I still love this song so much, maybe more than ever

  61. M.... S....

    Canção linda esta do Lynyrd Skynyrd. Nota 10 este cd, eu já tenho o meu...

  62. S.... ....

    @MyTymeBand08 Unless I'm mistaken the gentleman who sings this song has the last name Van Zant. If that doesn't mean anything to you then you are not a fan of any Skynyrd lineup. The current band is extremely true to it's roots. Hell, it's composed of family and original members. Most of the guys who hate the new Skynyrd hate em because they were fans of them when the politcs were less noticeable. Even i'll admit that this sounds a whole different than the old stuff but i love it all!!

  63. T.... ....

    For those who say this "isn't skynyrd," Ronnie Van Zant (the greatest lyricist and vocalist this world has ever seen and will ever see, stated that "Skynyrd isn't a group...it's a bunch of friends playing music they love." I mean, hell, his YOUNGER BROTHER...BROTHER...Same blood, fronts the band. Gary is still there. Rickey, who was in the early Skynyrd days (used to hang out and play along with) are all with the band still. This is Skynyrd...like it or not.

  64. T.... ....

    @maclieberman - Johnny and the band were hanging out with some friends, and when they were heading back to the studio Johnny said "well back to the studio to record some songs" (or something of that nature, and Gary said "yeah we're gonna unwrite a song". That then, was when this song was born.

  65. J.... v....

    skynyrd rule

  66. M.... L....

    I heard this is about Johnny...theres some kind of story behind this song but im not exactly sure..can anyone help me out with this?

  67. T.... ....

    This is my favorite slow song in the newest album...cant wait to see them LIVE tomorrow Feb 22!!!

  68. K.... G....

    Epic Fail, for sure!!! Everyting changes. Are u the same guy at 18 and at 40? Think of it...

  69. b.... ....

    beautiful song one of my favorites

  70. f.... ....

    it just drives me crazy how they are tryin to push this "new Skynyrd" it would be fine if they just call it something else! what if someones first experience of LS is this crap! that would be a shame and a sham.

  71. M.... ....

    Southern rock is similar but not the same thing as country. I also dont like country but like southern rock.

  72. f.... ....

    like i said great if you like it fine, just dont call it lynyrd skynyrd. it is a joke and insult to fans of classic skynyrd. the point is that this album is clearly using the name to sell more copies of this ______!!! I love my god and my guns too but as far as feeling this "music" it is making me want to vomit! the message is lost in the mix of this pop country overproduced misinterpertation of a Legend!!!GET IT NOW?? I'm just defending the faith!!!!!!

  73. E.... ....

    Maybe that's not Lynyrd Skynyrd, but it's still not bad. I like it. It's a little bit commercial, but commercial is done for people to like it.

    It's like Queen+Paul Rodgers. It's not really Queen anymore, but it's still good rock. Leave fanatism aside and enjoy music.

  74. Z.... ....

    A little bit of Springsteen ...

  75. f.... ....

    THIS IS NOT NOT NOT LYNYARD SKYNYARD!!! NOT THE SKYNARD I LOVED. THIS IS SOME COMERCIAL COUNTRY HARDLY ROCK POP POLITICAL @#$%! look I dont care if someone loves or likes it fine great good for you but just dont try to pass this (fill in the blank with whatever you want) off as the real deal cause it aint even God knows this isnt skynyrd

  76. M.... ....

    Jesus, calm down. It's not like your Mother was on that plane...

  77. T.... G....

    Hey thanks for the friendship :-))

  78. t.... ....

    This CD is awesome - thanks for posting

  79. K.... G....

    Jup, sehr geil, danke für's hochladen!!!

  80. K.... G....
