Bob Seger – Let It Rock lyrics

In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
Try'na get some money, get some brand new shoes
Try'na find a lady, chase away my blues
Hot and wasted, lord, sweatin' in the sun
Cussed out by the foreman till my work is all done

(Ohh, yeah!)

Hey, in the evenin' when the sun is sinkin' low
I'll be out there waitin' on the whistle to blow
Sittin' in the teepee, smokin' out on the track
Rollin' 'em bones till my foreman get back
Suddenly, I hear the brakeman up and shout
"Non-stop train, Bob, it's just two miles out" (Look out!)

(Oh!...Hey!...Oh!)

Everybody jumpin' and a scramblin' around
Try'na get a line an' get the teepee down
Railroad owner's 'bout to go insane
Try'na get the workers out the way of the train
Here come the engineer, hawnk d'hawn [Honk the horn]
Can't stop a train, ya got to let 'em roll on!

(Hey!...All Right!...Hey!...Ohhh, Uhhh!)

Let it rock
Let it rock
Yeah, let it rock
Yeah, let it rock
Rock and roll all night long

(Gitchya hands, now. C'mon!)
(C'mon! Gitchya hands! Gitchya hands!)
(Ow! Yeah, yeah)

Long time ago in Missouri
St. Louis, Missouri...yeah
Home of the blues
Birth of the blues
Little old Chuck Berry...
Chuck used to say...

There she is again over there by the record machine
(Three times)
Lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
Too damn cute to be a minute over thirteen
(I believe that)

Meanwhile...Ol' Chuck he'd be thinkin'...

She's in the mood, no need'n break it
I got a chance and, lord, I'm 'onna take it!
If she'll dance...we might even make it
Come on, Queenie! Let's ssshhhake it!
Little Queenie!
Go, go, go, little Queenie!
Rock and roll, Rock and roll, Rock and roll (li'l?)
Go, go, go, little Queenie!
Go, go, go, little Queenie!
Rock and roll, rock and roll, rock and roll (baby?)

(Oh!)

Mr. Drew Abbott from Royal Oak, Michigan on guitar
(Oh! Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
While I'm at it...
Mr. Chris Campbell right here on bass from Plymouth, Michigan
Charlie Martin on the drums from Detroit, Michigan
Tommy Cartmell on saxophone...from Birmingham, Michigan
Robyn Robbins on...keyboards from Grosse Point, Michigan
Silver Bullet! Yeah!
I'm Bob Seger. I'm from Ann Arbor, Michigan

Shake baby shake (C'mon!)
Shake baby shake (Everybody in Detroit!)
Shake baby shake (C'mon, I'm gonna turn you loose!)
Shake baby shake (Here we go!)
Said, Shake baby shake
Shake baby shake (A little louder!)
Shake baby shake (Ooh!)
Shake baby shake (Soundin' good!)
Shake baby shake (Oh!)
Shake baby shake (Aww, ooh! Ooh, yeah)
I believe, I believe
I believe we're about ready, don't you?!

Little bit a'guitar! Rock and roll!

Go on, let it rock! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Said, go on and let it rock!
Go on and let it rock!
Reach on down to your soul!
Little bit of Detroit, Michigan soul!
I love it!
Love it!
