"Playin' That Rock 'N' Roll" lyrics - JIM MESSINA

Well, I'm working all day, nearly all of the night
I gotta keep goin' while the feelin' is right
Tape is a-rollin', time keeps slipping away.

You know the speakers are burnin' and I'm movin' ahead
The engineer's working to stay out of the red
Meters are jumpin', the band keeps playin' away.

Well, sometimes I feel a little dizzy from rollin'
But I gotta keep rockin' away, away, away.

'Cause I love that rock 'n' roll music
That rhythmic kind of music
I can't stop makin' and playin' that rock 'n' roll.

'Cause I love my rock 'n' roll music
That rhythmic kind of music
I'm never gonna give up playin' my rock 'n' roll.

I'm hittin' the road doin' one night stands
Got to be ready to meet my fans
Nights are gettin' longer and days start fading away.

All the roadies are staging and learning the show
Everybody's looking at a week to go
I'm running behind but the band keeps playin' away.

Well, sometimes I get a little dizzy from rollin'
But I gotta keep rockin' away, away, away.

'Cause I love that rock 'n' roll music
That rhythmic kind of music
I can't stop makin' and playin' that rock 'n' roll.

'Cause I love that rock 'n' roll music
That rhythmic kind of music
No, I'm never gonna give up playin'
No, I'm never gonna give up playin'
And I'm never gonna give up playin' that rock 'n' roll.

I can't stop, I can't stop
Can't stop playin' that rock 'n' roll
I can't stop, I can't stop
Can't stop playin' that rock 'n' roll
