| Actually the song was written about one of the original guitarists of Skynyrd, Allen Collins, who wrecked (or should i say wrapped his brand new car around an oak tree cause he was real messed up (alchohol). | |

| the smell is because of the drug addicts who don't bathe to keep from letting the drug exit out of their pores. Go watch the movies RUSH | |

| The song has a lot to do with heroin addiction specifically. "That Smell" is the smell of the typical junkie, they have that "smell of death" around them because of all the heroin in their system, they just smell different. | |

| Ok I will set the record straight. This song was on their last album Street Survivors. Allan Collins, Gary Rossington, and Billy Powel all got into car wrecks within a short period of time. Gary hit a tree and a house and was almost killed. Billy wrecked and wither hurt someone really bad or killed them. Allen hit a shopping cart and something else. They were all trying to change their ways and quit drugs. Ronnie Van Zandt just had a daughter and wanted to clean his shit up. The song is on Steve Gains first album with Skynyrd and he tears that shit up with the others. Now to get some other shit straight. When the plane crashed the band didn't make music for a few years. There was the Collins/Rossington Band with a bunch of the same guys, followed by the Allan Collins bad. Ok now for you fools that messed it up, Collins did get in a lot of wrecks, but his final one was in the mid-1980's after he got drunk and had a fight with his girl, who died. Now this is mid-80's, the band broke up after the wreck and lost Ronnie, who sings in the song, in 78. How could they write a song about him? Sorry to get so indepth here. FUCKIN GOOD SONG | |

| I think everything was getting out of control with Gary, they thought. Heroin, Blow, Qualudes ('ludes), and way too much drinking. | |

| Hang on let a real Lynyrd Skynyrd Fan tell you what happened. Gary did not get in the car wreck and someone in the car died. That would be Allen Collins who was in a car wreck and his girlfriend and daughter died. thank you | |

| This song was written before Allen Collins crippling car crash. It was however written about Rossington and (I think) Collins by Ronnie - the irony was that the "smell of death" applied to Ronnie shortly after the song's release. | |
