Rocking Chair

(앨범: Old Lions Still Roar - 2019)

Let me tell you where it all began
Born to raise hell back in '61
Before I heard the sound of the motor run
Before the young ones and those bastard sons
First job that I ever had
I drove deliveries around for my dad
Played drums in cabaret for £20 back in that day
Didn't even know how to spend my pay
But knew I'd live my life this way

I'm not sitting in no rocking chair
I'll be playing in this rocking band
Gonna play it to whoever's there
Playing in a rocking band
I'm not sitting in no rocking chair
I'll be playing in this rocking band
Gonna play it to whoever's there
Playing in a rocking
Playing in a rocking band

Played every bar in the south of Wales
Got my first Les Paul in the New Year's sales
I was riding high in those Persian days
But I took a risk that would change my ways
I took my chances and I saw the stars
Handprints on Hollywood Boulevard
Jimmy taught me the rain song and signed my guitar
Three sons and a loving wife
I've met my heroes in a wonderful life

I'm not sitting in no rocking chair
I'll be playing in this rocking band
Gonna play it to whoever's there
Playing in a rocking band
I'm not sitting in no rocking chair
I'll be playing in this rocking band
Gonna play it to whoever's there
Playing in a rocking
Playing in a rocking band

I stood outside back then, I was just a fan
Handed Lemmy my demo, didn't know my best friend was this man
Didn't know we'd travel the whole world together
We had the whole world screaming
I don't wanna live forever
I don't want to live forever

I've seen the rocks, whiskey and Jack
I've had some knocks, I want my best friend back
Just to play it one more time
Playing in a rocking band
I'm not sitting in no rocking chair
I'll be playing in this rocking band
Gonna play it to whoever's there
Playing in a rocking
Playing in a rocking band
