One of Lynyrd Skynyrd's deeper songs, this is about finding the right woman and losing her. In the first verse, Ronnie Van Zant sings that his father told him to be strong, not to cry and to love and move on quick. He can't do it because he has found the right woman, but she is gone. Now he is down and is begging for her to some back... something he never dreamed he would do.
Van Zant wrote this with Steve Gaines, who joined the band as a guitarist in 1976. Gaines had an immediate impact on the band, writing or co-writing four of the eight songs on Street Survivors, which was released three days before the group's plane crashed in Mississippi, killing Gaines, his sister Cassie (a backup singer with the group) and Van Zant. Gaines is the only band member other than Van Zant to take a lead vocal in the pre-crash Skynyrd era. He sang lead on "Ain't No Good Life" and shared lead vocals with Van Zant on "You Got That Right."
