Roy Orbison - Rock & 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 dont know the meaning of the word outsiderI said people, you gonna play this kinda musicWell theres 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, its just a feeling, way down in your soulJust a simple story with this wild rock and rollYeah, well all the boys in louisiana called it rock and rollBut Ill tell you a secret, it drives the women crazyAnd thats 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 couldnt resist, I had me a drink, then I had me a listenI said people, you gonna play this kinda musicTheres something that Id 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, its just a feeling, way down in your soulJust a simple story with this wild rock and rollYeah, well all the boys in louisiana called it rock and rollBut Ill tell you a secret, it drives the women crazyAnd thats all you need to know about rock and roll
