Steve Forbert - Rock While I Can Rock

One Two Three
My father dead and gone he said that poor old stubborn man
spent his whole life arguing with that red clay Georgia land
Finally got so weak an' all he could not even walk
It all went down from there an' I swear he could not even talk
Hey life'll wear you down now dude an' time will take it's toll
tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm tryin' t' roll while I can roll
My father met my ma they almost married on the spot
turned eighteen in church an' moved in right back on the lot
An' all them workyears later she's the only gal he'd known
it might be fine for him but I got lightnin' in my bones
I dreamed a thousand dreams I got travelin' in my soul
Tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm tryin' t' roll while I can roll
They laughed at me at school an' said that I always ate too fast
That's just what it got to when you'd always wound up last
I've always been the smallest in a house a seven kids I
never got my share back there no matter what I did
Now I'm off an' runnin' boys with two good simple goals
tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm tryin' t' roll while I can roll
Well I'm sailin' off for England soon I'm workin' on a boat
see this whole wide world before I'm old enough to vote
I might write home to mama but I sure won't tell it all
He grabbed his Guns n' Roses cap an' walked on down the hall yeah
On your feet an' fine he said And the next damn day you're old
tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm out t' roll while I can roll
Oh yeah
