Eddie Wants To Rock Lyrics


Chris Thompson Eddie Wants To Rock

Come on everybody, let's go way back in time
Let  me introduce you to a friend of mine
He  couldn't dance, he couldn't sing
But that boy would take a shot at anything

He wrestled alligators with your man Dundee
Well,  he even threw a punch at Muhammad Ali
(I've  got a photograph to prove it)
And tattooed on his butt was “I just wanna rock”
I  just wanna rock
Jersey, St. Louis, then out to L.A
Had to take a look at how the big boys play
He gave his heart, he gave his soul
And  he spend a lotta money on rock and roll

He grooved with the Doobies and he smoked a few
If you had a sore back, well he'd fix that too
And every mornin' when he got out of bed
He'd walk up to the mirror, start shaking his head

I could be digging drains but instead I'm just gonna rock
Just gonna rock
(Eddie wants to rock, Eddie wants to roll, come on Eddie!)
Just gonna rock, just gonna rock

It wasn't all crazy, wasn't all just fun
Eddie took care of business when it had to be done
He saved a few lives coming down the line
And I'm sure real happy, one of them was mine

I haven't seen Eddie
Been a long, long time
And I really miss that old friend of mine

But you can bet your bottom dollar
That wherever he went
He'll be kicking up trouble
It was money well spent
Showing all the new kids on the block
Hey kids, you just gotta rock!
Just gotta rock
(Eddie wants to rock, Eddie wants to roll, come on Eddie!)
Hey you, just gotta rock

I wonder whatever happened to that guy
Man, we had some great times
Well, hope you like your song, Eddie

Eddie wanna rock, Eddie wanna roll
Eddie wants to rock, Eddie wants to roll
Wanna know a secret?
I've still got Eddie Rabbit
