Does It Gotta Be Rock N' Roll

(album: Still Unwinding - 1978)

You love listening to music
You listen till the morning comes
You let down your hair
And you lying your chair
And you listen till your ears go numb
Well that's alright with me woman
'Cause there's nothing that I like more
Than listening to good old music
And stomping my foot on the floor
But there's something I've got to mention
Oh, something I've got to say
Does it have to be the same thing every night
And the same thing every day

Does it gotta be rock n' roll
Does it gotta be rock n' roll
Does it gotta have beat
Does it gotta have beat
Is that the only thing in your soul

Have you never dug country music
Have you never heard Ludwig B
Do you never enthuse over playing the blues
Or a modern jazz symphony
You're a real good chick and I love you
And maybe I'm getting old
But does it gotta be rock rock, rock rock rock
Does it gotta be rock n' roll

You got something about you
There's music in the way you move
I guess to my mind that you're one of a kind
Yes I gotta say you're in the groove
But if there's one thing that drives me crazy
It's the lack of an open mind
And maybe rock has got zizz
But it ain't all that it is
If you look you're guaranteed to find
So if you wanna hear all that whooping
Well listen honey that's okay
But does it have to be the same thing every night
And the same thing every day

Does it gotta be rock n' roll
Does it gotta be rock n' roll
Does it gotta have beat
Does it gotta have beat
Is that the only thing in your soul

Have you never heard Chet and Jerry
Have you never dug Herb and Joe
Is it really absurd
That you should get off on bird
Or go crazy for the L.S.O
You're a real good chick and I love you
And maybe I'm getting old
But does it gotta be rock rock, rock rock rock
Does it gotta be rock n' roll, roll, roll, roll

Does it gotta be rock n' roll
Does it gotta be rock n' roll
Does it gotta have beat
Does it gotta have beat
Is that the only thing in your soul

Have you never dug country music...
