This day in music history.

July 27, 2001, Leon Wilkeson (bass player with Lynyrd Skynyrd) dies in his sleep at the age of 49 at his Jacksonville, Fla. home. He had suffered from chronic liver and lung disease but the official cause of death was from natural causes. His sister Cassie (back up singer) was killed in the plane crash that also killed Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines.
Aint No Good Life by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Aint no good life
Not the one that I lead
cause the more I fight the sadness, yeah
It only seems the more that I grieve
Well I look back on the good times
As some lost part of me
I wanna know, tell me why is it so
Well just because I don't pray
Lord, that don't mean I ain't forgiven
Just cause I'm alive
That don't mean I'm makin a livin
I'm gonna get myself together
Im gonna try a dyin attempt
Talkin about the good times slippin by
Yeah I tell ya
I don't even know where last month went
Well I cant make no money baby
Well cause my moneys already spent
And I know where it went
I said it went on that damn rent
Well I don't mean change, baby
I mean foldin money
Well I want lovin,
said I don't need a buddy
I don't need nobody,
now
Ain't exactly my idea
Its sort of old, borrowed and blue
Just tryin to say
Don't try that straight life buddy
Oh youll find it kind of hard on you
Women, don't try to cook nothin up,
ooh
Brother you know you'll only wind up
in your own stew
Just don't let nobody tell you,
oh
what you oughta do
