Roy Orbison - Rock And Roll Lyrics
M smothermanWell when i first got to memphis...I was knocked out by those friendly peopleThey all said "howdy, howdy, come on inWe don't know the meaning of the word outsider"I said "people, you gonna play this kinda musicWell there's something i would surely like to knowWhen i was a boy i heard this wild kinda musicAnd i think they called it, oh, rock and rollCan you tell me what you know about rock and roll?"They said "son, it's just a feeling, way down in your soul"Just a simple story with this wild rock and rollYeah, well all the boys in louisiana called it rock and rollBut i'll tell you a secret, it drives the women crazyAnd that's all you need to know about rock and rollWell you could not imagine the shape my head was inI took me a walk down by the mississippiWhen i heard this rockin' out of the harbour innI couldn't resist, i had me a drink, then i had me a listenI said "people, you gonna play this kinda musicThere's something that i'd really like to knowWhen i was a boy i heard this wild kinda musicAnd i think they called it, rock and rollCan you tell me what you know about rock and roll?"They said "son, it's just a feeling, way down in your soul"Just a simple story with this wild rock and rollYeah, well all the boys in louisiana called it rock and rollBut i'll tell you a secret, it drives the women crazyAnd that's all you need to know about rock and roll
