    Been crazy about them since I first heard the intro to Reelin In The Years on WPGC AM radio in my mother’s car in PG County. She’d play the car stereo for us kids. Never commented on the music other than to say they’re not from my time. Meaning that the 70s music wasn’t her bag. Elvis and Bill Halley and the Comets were her era. Like Pete Townshend said “you’ll always love the music you came of age on. My mother no different than anyone else. Interesting. Thing is I worked security at Lynyrd Skynryd Saturday night. Our music might have become the most cross generational music ever. In fact Van Zant said there were 4 generations in the house. Says a lot about “our” music!

    Teddy's rolling now most every night
    Skatin' backwards at the speed of light
    He's changed - in a thousand little ways
    He's changed - yes indeed
    You know he's movin' on metal, yes he's
    Hanging tight with the Jack of Speed
    Sheena's party - there's a case in point
    That right-wing hooey sure stunk up the joint
    He's gone - he walks through the old routines
    But he's gone - guaranteed
    He may be sittin' in the kitchen, but he's
    Steppin' out with the Jack of Speed
    You maybe got lucky for a few good years
    But there's no way back from there to here
    He's a one way rider
    On the shriek express
    And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less
    He can't hear you honey - that's alright
    Pack some things and head up into the light
    Don't stop - he'll be callin' out your name
    But don't stop when you hear him plead
    You better move now little darlin' or you'll be
    Trading fours with the Jack of Speed

    Sad song really but presented in such clean jazzed way. Great song. Great music. Much like Miss Marlene. Sure do miss Walter.

    An oldie but a newy! (?) i’m a giant fan of the original Dan song, but some very creative and well done touches here. Acoustic solo blew my mind.

      Sorry… this one “crossed over” to another song. This one’s pretty sweet as well. Love Walter’s solo here… very tasty. RIP my man…
