Just take those old records off the shelf
I sit and listen to them by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time a-rock 'n' roll
Don't try to take me to a disco
You never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time a-rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time a- rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time a- rock 'n' roll , hey!
Won't go to hear them play a tango
I better hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time a-rock 'n' roll
Call me a red, call me what you will
Say I'm old fashion, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time a-rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time a- rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time a- rock 'n' roll , oh!
Still like that old time a- rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time a- rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time a- rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time a- rock 'n' roll , hey!
Still like that old time a- rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time a- rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time a- rock 'n' roll
You always won everytime you placed a bet
You're still damn good
No one's gotten to you yet
Everytime they were sure they had you caught
You were quicker than they thought
You'd just turn your back and walk
You always said
The cards would never do you wrong
The trick you said
Was never play the game too long
A gambler's share
The only risk that you would take
The only loss you could forsake
The only bluff you couldn't fake
And you're still the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
Turning on the charm
Long enough to get you by
You're still the same
You still aim high
There you stood
Everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say
'Cause you're still the same
You're still the same
Moving game to game
Some things never change
You're still the same
1. I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shining
my '60 Cadillac was roaring through Nebraska whining
to hit 120, man the fields was bending over
and then I thought about the snow and he was trailing for the ....
whole entire place a..
and his spinning wheels were turning turning
and my.... excitement ...she was burning, burning.
Guitar solo
2. I popped a Baptist Preacher Southern funky school teacher
she had to rattle something even though we couldn't reach her
we told her we needed something that would get us going
she pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter
showing all I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
...
And then we let out in a pick up truck
Chorus:
Go, get out of Denver, baby, go go
get out of Denver, baby, go go
get out of Denver, baby, go go
'cause you look just like a commie and you might just be a member,
baby, get out of Denver, baby,
Get out of Denver
well the lights were flashing
we made to London mass in less then half an hour
the sirens screaming
we had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming
and it turned into a thunder shower.
on a long and lonely highway east of omaha
you can listen to the engine, moanin out as one long song
you can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before
and your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
when you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
you don't feel much like travelin', you just wish the trip was through
CHORUS:but here I am, on the road again
here I am, up on the stage
here I go, playing the star again
there I go, turn the page
you walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
and you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
you pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
sometimes you can here 'em talk, other times you can't
all the same 'ole cliches: is that a woman or a man?
and you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand
CHORUSbut here I am, on the road again
here I am, up on the stage
here I go, playing the star again
there I go, turn the page
out there in the spotlight, your a million miles away
every ounce of energy, you try to give away
and the sweat pours from your body, like the music that you play
later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
echos of the amplifiers, ringin' in your head
as you smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said
CHORUSbut here I am, on the road again
here I am, up on the stage
here I go, playing the star again
there I go, turn the page
CHORUS
