Lyrics for Song: That Smell
Lyrics for Album: Icon: Lynyrd Skynyrd [2010]
Whiskey bottles and brand new cars;
oak tree you're in my way.
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you.
CHORUS-
Ooh, ooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Ooh, ooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you.
Yeah.
Angel of darkness is upon you.
Stuck a needle in your arm (you, fool, you)
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose,
one more drink, fool, would drown you. (hell, yeah)
CHORUS
Now they call you prince charming.
Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes.
Say you'll be alright come tomorrow, but
tomorrow might not be here for you. (yeah, you)
CHORUS
Aw, you, fool, you.
You stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before.
One little problem that confronts you,
got a monkey on your back.
Just one more fix, Lord, might do the trick.
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks. (hell, yeah)
CHORUS 2x
Oh, you, fool, you
Don't stick those needles in your arm.
You're just a fool, just a fool, just a fool.

That Smell
Released on the 2010 compilation Icon: Lynyrd Skynyrd, "That Smell" is a quintessential Southern rock anthem that captures the band's signature blend of bluesy guitar work and soaring vocals. Written by Ronnie Van Zant, the track explores the universal human experience of nostalgia and the lingering impact of a specific scent, a theme that resonates deeply within the band's catalog of storytelling ballads. As a staple of their live performances and a defining track of the 1970s era, the song exemplifies Lynyrd Skynyrd's ability to craft emotionally charged music that transcends its original recording. Its enduring popularity underscores the group's influence on the Southern rock genre and their status as pioneers of the "Greatest Hits" era in rock music. |
