My Own Way Back Lyrics

MY OWN WAY TO ROCK         Burton Cummings



I'm reving up my engine

I'm like a seven forty seven

I'm a shiny lanky long and lean...and I'm lean



I'm reving up my engine baby

Like a seven forty seven

I'm a lanky long and lean... what a scene



I'm going to take my silver dollar

and change it into quarters

Shove them in the record machine...uh uh ha!



My baby said she loved me

but then she went and left me

Causing such an awful scene...what a scene



My baby said she needed me

You know that (( danger went and left me ))

(( Causing such an awful scee-ee-ene ))...what a scee-ee-ee-ene,

     a-ya-ee-yeah



Taking my silver dollar

(( Shave them in the corners ))

(( Shove them in the record machine ))...yes!



'cause I got my own way to rock

I got my own way to roll

and when you're walking that walk

It's good for your soul



You know I'm singing about (( my own way to rock ))

I got (( my own way to roll ))

and (( when you're walking that walk ))

(( It's good for your soul ))



{ piano solo }



{ guitar solo }



{ organ solo }



{ sudden stop }



One two three four!  { <<< whisper }



{ piano starts }



I'm reving up my engine baby

I'm like a seven forty seven

I'm a shiny lanky long and lean...what a scene, hey!





I'm reving up my engine baby

I'm like a seven forty seven

I'm a (( shiny lanky long )) and lea-ea-ean...what a sce-ee-ene,

     a-ya-ee-yeah



I'm taking my silver dolla-a-ar

Shaving it in the corners

I'm going to shove them in the record machine...uh uh ha!



'cause I got my own way to rock

I got my own way to roll

and when you're walking that walk

It's good for your soul



Hand me another dollar mama

I got (( my own way to rock ))

I got (( my own way to roll ))

and (( when you're walking that walk ))

(( It's good for your soul ))



Be bop a-loola babe!

Wake up little Susie

Yes indeed I'm in love again

Come on over, I got a whole lot of shaking

Well I like it like that, ya!



{ chromatics }



{ jam }



{ piano alone }



{ bang end }



Alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright...
