Lynyrd Skynyrd - The Needle And The Spoon Lyrics
Thirty days, lord and thirty nights
I'm comin' home on an airplane flight
Mama waitin' at the ticket line
Tell me son why do you stand there cryin'
It was the needle and the spoon
And a trip to the moon
Took me away, took me away
I've been feelin' so sick and tired
Got to get better, lord before I die
Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said
You better quit, son before your dead
[chorus]
Quit the trip to the moon
We gonna take you away. Lord, we gonna take you away
[spoken]
It was the needle and the spoon
I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool
But then again, lord I've seen a lot of fools
Well, I hope you people, lord can hear what I say
You'll have your chance to hit it some day
[chorus]
Don't mess with the needle or a spoon
Or any trip to the moon
It'll take you away
Lord, their gonna bury you boy
Don't mess with the needle
Now I know, I know, I know...

Lynyrd Skynyrd The Needle And The Spoon Comments
Why do you think they call it dope?
Please this song is so true I lost my sister on December 6,2017 I have another sister I'm trying too get off the streets
Still struggling
Fuck all that ..this song is bad ass !!!
Bless you guys wherever ya are!
Lord its gonna take me away
Takes all kinds of people to make a world that isn't monotonous and predictable . being different is ok , we need need stop judging and thank things we can learn and grow zmdnot nab to suffer what they have !
I found Second Helping in some of my mom's tapes and that's when I discovered Lynyrd Skynyrd. She asked me one day if I knew what they were singing about on this song and I told her I had no idea but I loved the song.There is so much going on around you as a kid that you have no idea about but when you look back your like oh that's what it was about.
They should .make a movie about these real-life badasses
There was supposed to be one that got the right to go ahead in 2017 but it's just gone silent
Don't do it
China white , fukn bitch .
Byran Scott Rogers...restin ducking peace...may all your titties be naked and drama free. Love u goddammit.
Lost some brothers to the needle didn’t let it lose me too 4 years clean now it’s hard I’m the only one from the old gang left still moving strong and sober baby!
It's a song! Relax
Gone shootin... !!
"you better quit son before youre dead" said something similar to a friend of mine a month before he OD'd, miss you mike
Grant Simmons same brother when they are to far gone they don’t even listen you can’t stop the devil
To the moon boon... To the moon 💙😢
I was the fool who thought it couldn't fuck me all the way around for nearly a decade. Been in recovery since july of 2018 Ive had setbacks but just keep moving forward.
This song effectively dramatizes the problem. I first heard it when I bought a "Second Helpings" tape.
And here I was coming expecting just another amazing southern rock song...
11 years on the needle and now 2 years off of it. its possible to quit man just want it please quit love u all oh if u have to get help like I did go on suboxone till u ween urself down don't let anyone say what u need or don't need do whatever it takes to quit
i love this song

We all die and while alcohol is my substance, I may live longer but...hey I did lose a best good buddy to heroin when he was 24. . I was drunk the night he died and maybe I could have stopped it. Who knows...
Still on the needle and spoon :(
i hope you get through it
Bella Vint thank you ❤️
Thirty days, lord and thirty nights
I'm comin' home on an airplane flight
Mama waitin' at the ticket line
Tell me son why do you stand there cryin'
It was the needle and the spoon
And a trip to the moon
Took me away, took me away
I've been feelin' so sick inside
Got to get better, lord before I die
Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said
You better quit son before your dead
With the needle, with the spoon
And a trip to the moon
Gonna take me away, lord gonna take me away
It was the needle and the spoon
I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool
But then again, lord I've seen a lot of fools
Well, I hope you people, lord can hear what I say
You'll have your chance to hit it some day
Don't mess with the needle or a spoon
And a trip to the moon
Well it'll take me away, lord they're going to bury you boy
Don't mess with the needle, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Heroin is awesome 👏 🎠
Been.clean 9 years.but.i.aint.clean on the juice
That riff always just gives me the shivers. To everyone in these comments who are getting of the needle and the spoon, every day is an accomplishment. You are doing great.
Rock out all those nasty life lessons. I partied just this side of dying. Thanks grandma you believed I'd live on. Your soul lives in my veins.
This song hits you differnt after you try it. Its a trip the moon for sure. 4 months clean
I could use a speedball right now.The dog chewed the remote up.
Born and raised in Jacksonville Florida these songs sure brings back some good memories!
10 years of making meth it’s done time to get high
It's a freaking song....relax
Fuck with Ronnie... get yo ass whooped!!
A trip to the moon ♡
Great song musically.
They’re gonna bury you boy...
This song makes me cry when i think of what i put my mom through with my IV drug use. Best thing u can do for yourself and family is get clean before u lose the chance to make things right.
1.5 months off the needle. But it's really hard to switch off and quit everything. 20 years with a head change of some kind just doesn't go away.
never was a junkie but still love this song
this song helped me beat substance abuse
I've been a heroin addict for 10 years I'm 49 damn for years and Rehabilitation don't mess with the needle or the spoon what a trip to the moon it'll take you away feeling sick right now and I know where to go to get it even though it's late at night but I'm just going to try to do my best
I went through all the drugs from heroin, coke, crack, pills of every kind, and most recently meth amphetamines!!! Don't do it y'all it's That Smell for for real and I'm glad I'm clean and healthy, but it took so many friends and family away!!! My Mother overdosed on heroin in Spring of 17 and didn't make it!!! For those of u struggling with drugs, get help anyway u can, before it's too late, cause u can't come back from death!!! Love to u all!!!
Thirty days, lord and thirty nights

Got to get better, lord before I die
Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said
You better quit son before your dead
With the needle, with the spoon
And a trip to the moon
Gonna take me away, lord gonna take me away

Don't mess with the needle, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I'll be honest I loved cocaine. I was numb..
I still see a lot of fools
Believe it or not this song and Ronnie vanzant because of I should say kept me from ever shooting up Most people don't believe that but it's the truth on God it is 💯
This song alone kept me from ever wanting to try the crap as a teen in the 80s. So thanks Rvz for that info.
It's a song folks, deal with your issues.
Im coming 4 ya

Coming up on two years with no more burnt up spoons no rigs all over my cars and money in my pocket
Shooting up is fun
nuken Fitz.
45 plus years, No needle&No Spoon. Daily battles though.
Got on the needle at 16 got off at 20 long hard ride I'm now 56 36 years clean only by the grace of God
@Catherine Towler Towler no sweetie not lucky.......blessed
Amen! Praise The Lord! :)
Roger Amen for you God is good
CONGRATS! 25 yrs relative clean ( had a few hiccups alone the line). like David Bowie sang " it ain't easy!"
Good job brother, the thorn in my side was pain pills, he’ll id take any kind I got so bad, was only when my momma noticed and broke down to me that I realized I was hurting those who I love most, that was 2016, and to be honest with y’all, coming off was the hardest shit. But nowadays I don’t even really think about those things anymore. Good luck to you folks on your walk of life. Peace and love man
This song is too up tempo and happy to be about something as dark as heroin addiction.
U heard of mr.brown stone by gunsnroses?
Feel like should of played this on the joker
Al most 2 years without needle 🙂
Khalifa Ali keep it up biscuit !
The only bad thing about this song is that it ended👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
7 years since the needle and the spoon. One more year and I’ll be clean for as long as I was using.
Nice to see people are doing good! There's definitely a spiritual war going on whether you like it or not. And it's nice to see the positive energy for a change. God bless yall and keep it real💯
this song says so much!!
90 days clean
Is it just me or did the Sex Pistols rip off the tune for their song "Submission?"
The best of best
This is a great site 4 me
a fair warning!
100 some days clean. Still itching for that raw #4. Ugh.
Replace it with church ! replace it with a weight set work out pray to the lord !
I spent 20 years being messed up. It almost killed me. I've been sober for 30+ years. Thank God. If I can stay sober anyone can. If you want out of the drug life there is away. Seek out people who are in recovery. There are millions of us that are sober and stay sober one moment one day one hour one second at a time. If I can stay sober anyone can. Please get help. It is worth it. I thank Jesus every day ! Praise God. I'd rather be a Jesus freak than a stoned geek.
Drinking and smoking cigs. were my biggest addiction. Smoked and drank whiskey for 42 years. Tried just about everything known to man to quit for 3 decades. Nothing worked. One day I smoked my last cigarette & Jesus gave me the faith of a mustard seed. Right then I bowed my head and askes Jesus to take away my addictions. He did! That was Aug. 5, 2010 & I have not wanted a smoke or a drink since.
Jesus Christ is God's son who show's Great compassion for us fallen sinners. Praise God for how you are blessed with the strength he gave you to quit drinking and smoking Amen Brother Amen❗❗
@William Shilling Jesus was just waiting on me brother. All it took was a little faith.
Any time you want to try it call me. I'd like to walk you thru some of the finest grave yards. got some people I would like you to meet.
One of the beat Skynard songs without a doubt!!
This song brings me back to so many memories and emotions of that time.
Two months, better then nothing
The south and southern bands have always been the greatest.
Been sober for 14 months.....let’s make it 15
such a good song.
Always a great song to crank!!
keystonechris on my friends computer,,,, i remember 25 years ago my brother asked me ,, do i like lynrd skyrnd i said ya i like hime i was 16 years old lmao yes i love this band!!!
Anybody looking to Heroin, just stop. The shit will destroy you. The high is amazing, at first. Then before you know it, you get sick w/out it. Don't even go there.
Seen Skynyrd in '74. Next to Tull they were the best. Awesome show.
Stonewall Big ups from this Colorado 21 year old jealous you got to see this band live
2 weeks off the needle and spoon!! Fuck Heroin/fentanyl
Cameron Curran stay at it. It gets easier. Kratom is there if you need it. It’s better than sub or methadone in my opinion
"I watched Jane die" -WW
8 years away from that meth. my mom died on mother's day took her last breath right after amen and my little brother a year earlier earlier. step down in that rabbit whole for two weeks. I'm staying strong now for 5 days. might make no sense anyone but it does to me. oh yes that needle and spoon.
Eric Perry stay strong brother. Life is better than death 💀
thank you. I'm still staying strong. I'm blessed every day I stay away from it even if I think I am or not. I almost lost everything in those to weeks. i thank God I didn't everyday I didn't lose it all.
Eric Perry stay with that energy. It’ll get you everywhere 💪
Eric Perry happy to hear you’re still staying the course
I quit that shit
3 months off the needle🤙still a great fucking song
Nathan Slack don’t stop bro
Recomendação aceita.
Valeu amigo 👊
My cousin OD'd a few years ago. She was only 37. RIP and miss you!!!
Ride a dark horse into the abiss strait to oblivion.
Miss him...
Recently I noticed that Needle and the Spoon has some structural resemblance to the song "White Room" by Cream. But it is really only in the chord note picking downward resolution and the wah-wah solo that are similar. The rest is pure LS magic. Someone referenced below the ending words of the song ("I know I know I know") as a hallmark in user denial. LS´s production manager was pretty ingenious in using that lyric part (starting around the 3:06 mark) to fade out like a dying user, whose spirit is thereafter lamented by a wailing, sonorous guitar solo (starting around the 3:10 mark).
Store closes at 10.If I don't get another beer,Im just gone get a headache and be in a bad mood.That aint as bad as a U-100 with a fishbarb and Superfly is on the other side of town.
