Rolling Away
Verse 1
They say that rock n roll is dead, it's had its day
Geetar, drums & bass have nothing left to say
I suppose that's true if you watch what's going on
But in Memphis rock aint dead, it still keeps hangin' on
And the King keeps a rollin' as the drums begin to play
Prechorus 1
At Sun Studios in Memphis Tennessee
It was alright M-Mamma in 1954
I took my rocket 88 and rocked it for a while
All I know is I rode her in style
Chorus 1
Many say rock is dying
I can't say that I agree
Rock me baby before I am dyin'
Or I'll keep rollin' away
Verse 2
You see if rock was dead there'd have to be a grave
I just don't think you'll ever see it soon
There's a new King being heard above the din
It's in Greenville that rock climbs out of its shallow grave
The King's returned the geetar sings his song
Prechorus 2
Now South Carolina has rock within its veins
Now Marvin's boy is the gospel on the stage
Preaching his rock n roll sermon in a song
His geetar rides the sky above us all
Chorus 2
Some may claim rock is dead
I won't say I agree
While there's a geetar to keep on rockin'
While there's drums to beat away
Bass guitar breathes the life
Rock n roll is here to stay
And I'll keep on rolling away....hey!
