A Little Rock N Roll

A Little Rock N’ Roll

Well, the band takes the stage and the people start to scream
The bass, it gets to thumping and the guitars ring
The drummer starts jamming and knocking all around
The crowd goes wild as the lights come down
I said, honey, listen to the music play
You know, a little rock ‘n’ roll it sure goes a long, long way.

Well, that sweet country music is all good and fine
When you rosin up the fiddles and the guitars crying
Ain’t nothing in this world like a honky tonk sound
But, every now and then you got to break it on down
I said, honey, ah, tell me what I say
You know, a little rock ‘n’ roll it sure goes a long, long way.
Ah, go on now.

You can pick it how you want it, you can pick it how you choose
Play it with some soul or play it with some blues
Pick it out of tune or pick it off key
Anyway you do it, is fine by me
I said, honey, I don’t care what the old folks say
A little rock ’n’ roll it sure goes a long, long way.

Well, I’m tired of this rap and I’m sick of this pop
It just don’t shake and it sure don’t rock
I need to find something, that’s got a little feel
When the music gets to going, you can’t sit still
I said, honey, listen to the guitars play
A little rock ‘n’ roll it sure goes a long, long way
One more time.
