Keep Playin' That Rock 'N' Roll

Don't you know that I was sittin back in Texas I was playing those rhythm and blues And then I got a big offer For more money than I could refuse I had the chance to make it Playing anything I wanted to play But way back in my mind You know I could hear the people say Keep playing that rock and roll Keep doing what you been told Save your money up for when you get old Got to keep playing that rock and roll So I packed up and I made it up to New York Where my brother was a great big star Yeah he was doing funky music Singing and playing guitar Johnny was making the big time Everything was going his way But way back in my mind You know I could hear the people say Keep playing that rock and roll Keep doing what you been told Save your money up for when you get old Got to keep playing that rock and roll Don't you know that I've been doing lots of thinking I've been trying hard to figure it out But there's a certain kind of music, yeah Got to make you jump and shout Now you could call it commercial If you want to be that way But way back in my mind You know I could hear the people say Keep playing that rock and roll Keep doing what you been told Save your money up for when you get old Got to keep playing that rock and roll Oh you got to keep on playing (You got to keep on playing) Oh you got to keep on playing (You got to keep on playing) Oh you got to keep on playing (You got to keep on playing) Got to keep playing that rock and roll Keep playing that rock and roll Keep doing what you been told Save your money up for when you get old Got to keep playing that rock and roll Rock and roll Rock and roll To satisfy my soul
