Rock And Roll My Baby Lyrics

Rock And Roll My Baby lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker



Take it from me it's a mystery, where all my money goes

How I make it week to week, only God almighty knows

Tonight's the night, I make it right, I'm fixin' to go into town

Buy all the drinks, kiss all the girls, spread my charming self around



Chorus:

Tonight I wanna rock and roll my baby, maybe dance a dance or two with
yours

Crowd up to the bar and order whiskey then I want to hang out till they close
the doors

Tonight my soul is young and wild and frisky, 

I can't stop this urge I've got to laugh

Now if you find my attitude offensive, well honey that's just too damn bad



Well I've seen it in the papers, how Jerry Jeff is getting old

He's an aging desperado, too old now to rock and roll

Well at least I know I was one, not a writer talkin' to the wall

In fact I want it written down here, I lived long enough to do it all



Chorus



I'll get to feeling so damn good, I'll have to have a new tattoo

I'll catch a cab and go uptown and get some new taps put on my shoes

I have to go to Antone's joint to get right inside some funky blues

Then wind up dancing at the Spoke and sittin' in 'til way past two



Chorus
