They used to call me rockabilly.
All of us ran through
When Elvis opened up the door.
Boo-bop-a-lop-bam-boo.
I didn't ever play much rock and roll,
'Cause I got so much country in my soul.
Chorus:
But I'm a different man for lovin' you,
And I'd take a shot at what you asked me to.
And, baby, I will rock and roll with you,
if I have to
Memphis 1955 on Union Avenue
Carl and Jerry and
Charlie and Roy
and Billy Riley too
A new sun rising on the way we sing and
a world of weirdos waiting in the wings
Chorus:
But I love you, and though I'm past forty-two,
There are still a few things yet I didn't do.
And, baby, I will rock and roll with you,
if I have to.
