Unfortunately, there are so many different stories to Lynyrd Skynyrd that it's hard to keep it straight. That article posted above tells one version; the Netflix documentary (https://www.netflix.com/title/80993413) tells a slightly different one. And t answer the question of whether or not "it's just lyrics," well yeah, it is "just lyrics." I get it that there is some poetry and artistic license in music, but I'm also a fan of say what you mean and mean what you say. So how I hear it is as legit as someone's two-bit interpretation of what it supposedly means. Since the original members of Lynyrd Skynyrd are all dead but one, there's no clear answer from the horse's mouth.
