"Gimme Back My Bullets" is the title track of Lynyrd Skynyrd's fourth album, released in 1976, written by Gary Rossington and Ronnie Van Zant. Here is my cover of it with the Yazoo Ramblers, which I posted to the channel on June 12, 2026.
The video is a one-minute clip, so it is a short taste rather than the whole song.
Why I picked it
When we get used to winning, we don't like dropping back.

Song Stories is where I share the story behind each cover on Cal Carter's Yazoo Ramblers Channel. I record the covers in my garage in Milton, GA, and I put the story and the credits here. If this song means something to you, tell me about it in the YouTube comments. I'd like to hear it.
