Don't you know that
I was sittin' back in Texas
I was playin'
old rhythm n blues
And then I got a big offer
for more money
than I could refuse
I had my chance
to make it
playin' anything
I wanted to play
But way back in my mind
you know
I could hear the people say
Keep playin' that rock n roll
keep doin'
what you've been told woo..
Save your money up
for when you get old
got to keep playin'
that rock n roll
So I packed up and I
made it up to New York
where my brother was
a great big star
He was doing funky music
yeah
singin' and playin' guitar
Johnny was makin'
the big time
everything was goin' his way
But way back in my mind
you know
I could hear the people say
Keep playin' that rock n roll
keep doin'
what you been told
Save your money up
for when you get old
got to keep playin'
that rock n roll
Don't you know that I've
been doing lots of thinkin'
well I've been trying
not to figure it out
But there's a certain
kind of music yeah
got to make you
jump and shout
Ooo now you can
call it commercial
if you wanna see it that way
But way back in my mind
you know
I can hear the people say
Keep playin' that rock n roll
keep doin'
what you been told
Save your money up
for when you get old
got to keep playin'
that rock n roll
Ah you got to keep on playin'
you got to keep on playin'
you got to keep on playin'
Got to keep playin' that
rock n roll
Keep playin' that rock n roll
keep doin'
what you been told
Save your money up
for when you get old
got to keep playin'
that rock n roll
Rock n roll
rock n roll satisfy my soul
