Tears in an old man's eyes. 💓

I live my life following the words of this song , I'm 45 now with a wife and 3 kids and very happy, just being a simple man!!!!!

A song with poetry, never fails. Life lessons in a song, words of wisdom,encouragement and a warning. Take heed take your time and don’t grow to fast. I’m 66 now, and time went by quickly since I was 18. ☮️

They were my very first concert in Kansas city Kanasa with the Outlaws. I'm 65 now and it's still like yesterday. I was on my way to Okinawa Japan in the Marines when I heard the plane went down. God Speed and Thank you guys for the Best Southern Rock in History.

moved to DC in '72. Got introduced to all southern rock. have never looked back

GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME , Thanks Guys , Southern Rock Rules

RIP Gary your influence was untouchable. Your with your brothers in Heaven now.

Truly and absolutely the greatest band ever to exist. ❤️🩷❤️

I was 12 years old when the plane crashed. I found the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd about 23 years ago. Now today at the age of 58 I'm still turning up the music on the radio when Skynyrd comes on! I am a farmer and a truck driver, trucking company owner. A very ordinary person, four year college degree in the late 80s even.....

I spent my entire life listening to Skynard! Seen them in concert and love their southern rock! It's apart of me, inside and out. Their music flows in my veins like my blood! Southern born, southern breed, southern girl forever! Lynard Skynard is the best of all! 😎

I sent this song to my son..my shooting Star. I said, dont be simple, be GREAT. DO GREAT THINGS..

I truly love this band and especially this song. There's a story behind this song for me just before I started dating the true LOVE of my life. I've always loved this song long before I met my girlfriend. As a friend at the time she wins tickets to see them perform at the Lowell Auditorium, Lowell,Mass. I told her if SIMPLE MAN comes on please call me thinking 🤔 she wouldn't but she did and I knew right then and there she was going to be my girlfriend. Sadly her Dad had passed away on 2/13/2013. So I went to the wake and funeral for her to show respect and support. Then the memorial for gathering for him. After that she told she had feelings for me and love for the last 2yrs before hand. Long story short we got together one night for drinks and well a great night at a hotel unplanned. We are now have been to together for almost 10yrs since 3/16/2013 She truly is my soulmate and the love of my life. That song has way more meanings than she truly knows. I TRULY LOVE YOU CHERYL JACKOWICTZ ❤️ Thank you for that call that night at their concert ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

16 or 17 year old started listening. still 😉 enjoy in 2023 at 65 years-old😎

My mom passed on and when I hear this song it brings back memories of her. She would be pleased to know that!

RIP Gary Rossington you will never be forgotten....Rock on...

Hate that they are gone.
