We've been doing this longer than you've been alive |
|
propelled by some mysterious drive |
|
And they still let me do it as weird as that seems |
|
And I do it most nights and then again in my dreams |
|
Infinite hallways in giant hotels |
|
dressing room looks about as good as it smells |
|
Bottles of whiskey and bottles of beer |
|
There's a bottle of medicine somewhere round here |
|
We've been in nightclubs and we've been in bars |
|
Honky tonks and theaters from Memphis to Mars |
|
Most of our shows were a triumph of rock |
|
Although some nights I might have been checking the clock |
|
I'm only human though I'm super at times |
|
I jump off of risers I should not have climbed |
|
Rock jumps won't kill you till one of them does |
|
Well they'll say, "He died doing what he loves" |
|
