A southern man do not need him around anyhow." The lyrics go like this: Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, the band endures - recording new music and touring the world looking to the future.

Neil Young's name is mentioned in this song. In 1987, Skynyrd reunited for a full-scale tour with Johnny Van Zant taking on lead vocals. He viewed his statements as a grave insult and responded with "Sweet Home Alabama" to "Southern Man." The late Ronnie Van Zant (singer of the band) was reportedly a major fan of the Canadian and would often wear a Neil Young T-shirt when singing on stage. As a result, Lynyrd Skynyrd felt outraged by this reference. The other band members Collins, Gary Rossington, Wilkeson, Powell, Artimus Pyle, and Hawkins, tour manager Ron Eckerman, and several road crew suffered.
Some versions of the band's history state Burns briefly left the band during this time, although other versions state that Burns played with the band continuously through 1974. Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines, along with backup singer Cassie Gaines (Steve’s older sister), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary, and co-pilot William Gray died.

The song is about racism in the American South, and it makes several references to the region's historical ties to slavery and the Ku Klux Klan. Lynyrd Skynyrd is an American rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1964 by Ronnie Van Zant (vocals), Gary Rossington (guitar), Allen Collins. Neil Young's landmark album "After The Gold Rush" includes the song "Southern Man." Members of Lynyrd Skynyrd were outraged by this track.
