Johnny Van Zant

My dad was a truck driver, and from the time I was knee high to a grapevine, I was driving a truck.

My dad was a truck driver. We all used to ride along with him. And the way he'd keep awake was to sing while he was going down the road. So we all joined in.

It's all these young country bucks doing Skynyrd songs, which is pretty cool to us.

Johnny Colt is a character, and most people in Lynyrd Skynyrd are characters, so he fits in great with us. He's got an attitude, man, and I love it, and that's what we need.
