Don't you know that I was sittin' back in Texas |
|
I was playin' those rhythm and blues |
|
And then I got a big offer |
|
For more money than I could refuse |
|
I had my chance to make it |
|
Playin' anythin' I wanted to play |
|
But way back in my mind |
|
You know I could hear the people say |
|
Keep playin' that rock 'n' roll |
|
Keep doin' what you been told |
|
Save your money up for when you get old |
|
Got to keep playin' that rock 'n' roll |
|
So I packed up and I made it up to New York |
|
Where my brother was a great big star |
|
He was doin' funky music, yeah |
|
Singin' and playin' guitar |
|
Johnny was makin' the big time |
|
Everything was goin' his way |
|
But way back in my mind |
|
You know I could hear the people say |
|
Keep playin' that rock 'n' roll |
|
Keep doin' what you been told |
|
Save your money up for when you get old |
|
Got to keep playin' that rock 'n' roll |
|
Don't you know that I've been doin' lots of thinkin' |
|
I've been tryin' hard to figure it out |
|
But there's a certain kind of music, yeah |
|
Got to make you jump and shout |
|
Now you could call it commercial |
|
If you wanna see it that way |
|
But way back in my mind |
|
You know I could hear the people say |
|
Keep playin' that rock 'n' roll |
|
Keep doin' what you been told |
|
Save your money up for when you get old |
|
Got to keep playin' that rock 'n' roll |
|
Oh, you got to keep on playin' |
|
(You got to keep on playin') |
|
Oh, you got to keep on playin' |
|
(Oh, keep on playin') |
|
Oh, you got to keep on playin' |
|
(You got to keep on playin') |
|
Got to keep playin' that rock 'n' roll |
|
Keep playin' that rock 'n' roll |
|
Keep doin' what you been told |
|
Save your money up for when you get old |
|
Got to keep playin' that rock 'n' roll |
|
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll to satisfy my soul |
