| [00:08.79] |
I guess I tried to show you how |
| [00:13.07] |
I'd take the crowd with my guitar |
| [00:17.51] |
And business men would clap their hands |
| [00:21.43] |
And clip another fat cigar |
| [00:25.20] |
And publishers would spread the news |
| [00:29.33] |
And print my music far and wide |
| [00:33.89] |
And all the kids who played the blues |
| [00:37.07] |
Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slide |
| [00:45.82] |
But now it seems the bubble's burst |
| [00:49.96] |
Although you know there was a time |
| [00:54.13] |
Love songs gathered in my head |
| [00:57.86] |
Poetry in every line |
| [01:02.08] |
And strong men strove to hold the doors |
| [01:05.70] |
While with my friends I passed that reach |
| [01:10.04] |
When people stomped on dirty floors |
| [01:13.26] |
Before I trod the rock'n'roll stage |
| [01:52.66] |
I'll thank the man who's on the 'phone |
| [01:55.59] |
And if he's got some time to spend |
| [01:58.28] |
The problem I'll explain once more |
| [02:01.29] |
And indicate a sum to lend |
| [02:03.88] |
That ten percent is now a joke |
| [02:06.93] |
Maybe thirty, even thirty-five |
| [02:09.86] |
I'll say my daddy's had a stroke |
| [02:12.72] |
He'd have one now, if he only was alive |
| [03:19.21] |
I like the way you look at me |
| [03:21.82] |
You're laughing too, down there inside |
| [03:24.81] |
I took my chance and you took yours |
| [03:27.51] |
You crewed my ship, we missed the tide |
| [03:30.25] |
I like the way the music goes |
| [03:33.06] |
There's a few good guys who can play it right |
| [03:35.54] |
I like the way it moves my toes |
| [03:38.52] |
Just say when you want to go and dance all night |
