Rockin` On The River — текст песни (Jerry Jeff Walker)

Steven Fromholz

Hey, if you want to go rockin` on a Saturday night
I know a place down the river where the rhythm is right
The joint is always jumping and there`s always a crowd
Libations are delightful and the music is loud

Everybody`s dancing and they`re dancing in pairs
Sliding back the tables and they`re stacking up chairs
The band is playing hot and singing sweet harmony

Chorus:
Won`t you go rockin` on the river with me?
Why don`t you go rockin` on the river with me?

They got a honky-tonk piano, got a sliding trombone
The meter is amazing, baby, so is the tone
The bass rhythm section, it`ll tear you apart
Baby-faced drummer breaks the little girls` hearts

Johnny plays guitar and Tony`s blowing his sax
They just got back from Memphis, where they`re laying down tracks
Shirley, she`s the singer, she can set your soul free

Chorus

You pay your money at the door, you get a stamp on your hand
And if you leave the building, you can come back again
The barbecue is funky and the peppers are hot
And if it isn`t legal, leave it out in the lot

Everybody dresses in a scandalous style,
The waitress does her best if you just tip her and smile
You can take my dreams into reality

Chorus
