The lyrics on this one are just kind of ho-hum, but the music and presentation are great. Seldom is a cover song better than the original, but this one blows Skynyrd's out of the water. The guitar is particularly amazing, even by Zakk's standards.

As far as the meaning of the song goes, it's pretty straight forward. He learned at an early age to never get too close to the ladies...just find 'em, have your fun with them, then get the hell out of dodge. But, he fucked around and fell in love with one, and she's the one who bailed on him. Now he's realizing that he never once imagined that he would find himself feeling this way about a woman and now that she's gone, he wants her back...all the others he had were just insignificant compared to this one, but she's gone for good.
