Great song. In an Interview I heard years ago, one of the members said that, in addition to Gary’s crash, Ronnie got part of his inspiration from a saying they heard about bands that lived very hard and fast. It would be said that, “ you could smell death around them”

One of Ronnie Van Zant's last great songs, "That Smell," starts with the lines "Whiskey bottles and brand new cars / Oak tree you're in my way." It was in direct reference to the Labor Day weekend in 1976 when Gary Rossington drove drunk and wrapped his new vehicle around a tree, injuring himself badly in the process. "He passed out at the wheel of his brand new Ford Torino with his foot on the gas," Ronnie Van Zant told the Los Angeles Times. "He knocked down a telephone pole, split an oak tree and did $7,000 worth of damage to a house. That's being just plain stupid. I told him that on his hospital bed." He also told him so in "That Smell," which he wrote with guitarist Allen Collins.
