Don't you know that I was settin' back in Texas,
Playin ole rythym and blues.
And then I got a big offer,
For more money than I could refuse.
I had my chance to make it,
Playin anything I wanted to play.
Way back in my mind,
You know I can hear what people say.
Keep playin that rock'n'roll,
Keep doin' what you've 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 freaking star.
He was doin' funky music,
Singin and playin guitar.
Now he was makin the big turn,
Everything was goin his way.
Way back in my mind,
You know I can hear what people say.
Keep playin that rock'n'roll,
Keep doin' what you've 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 things yeah,
I've been tryin hard to figure it out,
Well there's a certain kind of music,
got to make you jump and shout,
now you may call it commercial,
if you want to see it that way,
But way back in my mind,
You know I can hear what people say.
Keep playin that rock'n'roll,
Keep doin' what you've been told.
Save your money up for when you get old,
Got to keep playin that rock'n'roll.
Keep playin that rock'n'roll,
keep doin' what you've 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 myself.
