I`ve been singing rock most all my life I got three little boys and a sweet young wife
I feed `em good cause I make good bread thank God for the man that said
Rock`n roll is the answer son you can`t beat `em join `em
Get your guitar get your drum get your set of iron ear drums
A thousand watt column and you`re in the business son
Got my first Cadillac in `54 since then I had about five more
Mercedez Benz and a Porsche too the other day I was thinking this wouldn`t do
Cause the price of a Cadillac times two comes out to the cost of a Rolls Royce new
But soon the Cadillac`s obsolete and the Rolls Royce is still a running sleet
Figure four years instead of two before you gotta buy something new
Put an extra fifteen hundred in to pay for the bar and air-conditionin`
You don`t need no chauffer get your bartender and ride baby
So the other day I drove down from a hill went to my bank to get me some bills
And boots and Levi`s worn and tan I ambled into the Rolls Royce stand
Showroom four was quiet that day I walked up to a silver grey
Silver Cloud all sleek and long standin` there loose and so alone
Such a beautiful sight I never did see sparkled and shone like a Christmas tree
He was really something to admire I loved in close and I hicked the tire
Had to get some attention I got some quickly
Well I was comin` my hair down in the chrome when up steps a man in a herring bone
Said good morning son may I help you I said yes sir I`d like to testdrive
This new Silver Cloud II
Well he jumped back his face was sore he looked me over from my head to my toe
His face formed into a sneer he said sorry kid this car stays here
And don`t you kick tose tires don`t open the doors don`t touch the chrome
You`re gettin` dandruff on the radiator
Well I got put on for an hour or more they ushered me in the bossman`s door
It wasn`t long till I came out the bossman followed up with a shout
Open the door there look alive and take this boy for a testdrive
In the silver grey Silver Cloud the little cat`s loaded
Lumps in is clothes gotta look for those
How do you think I got where I am today hmm
Now I`m driving along ole 501 listening to them big wheels hum
Gotta get home before it`s five take my wife and kids for a drive
Now the moral is the part that`s best never judge a man by the way he is dressed
Don`t you brush him off or treat him wrong
He may be the singer of rock songs don`t you forget it
What`s that pounding noise what`s burning
Well the temperature is up and the oil is down
Termites running around and around on my dashboard
Spots on my windshield trading time
