This song tells the story of Steve Gaines and Lynyrd Skynyrd
Cassie Gaines was one of the Honkettes, Skynyrd's female backup singers. Steve Gaines was her brother, and she lobbied the band on his behalf after Ed King left. He played on their live album, One More From The Road, and final studio album, Street Survivors. Not only did he write or co-write many of the songs on that album, he sang lead on "Ain't No Good Life" and duetted with Ronnie Van Zant on "You Got That Right". Ronnie was quoted saying they would "all be in his shadow one day".
Both Cassie and Steve died in the Skynyrd plane crash in 1977, as did Ronnie.
