Mama, she done told me
She didnt like this rock and roll
But mama, mama, please
Mama, you just dont know
I dont want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I dont want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I get an old time feeling
Every time I hear the blues

They told me, get a job
And set yourself a goal
But cant they understand
I just want to rock and roll
I dont want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I dont want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
Something happens to me
Every time I hear the blues

I will do my homework
Ill clean the yard every day
I will even do the dishes
Ill do anything you say

That say that rock and roll
Itll soon fade away
But I just want to tell you
Rock and roll is here to stay
I dont want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I dont want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I get a good time feeling
Every time I hear the blues

Some might even say
It put the devil in my soul
But thats a bunch of shit
I just want to rock and roll
I dont want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I dont want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
My feets got to move now
Every time I hear the blues
