Rock n Roll Bone - Collin Raye

First thing I remember, I was standin' by my brother

Singin' «My Heart Skips a Beat»

It was Buck, Merle, Jones, Cash, rattlin' the car dash

Cruisin' down a small town street

Elvis had the killer hair and lots of Roger Miller

Makes a little boy’s eyes get wide

Got a big dose of Johnny Horton, Connie Smith, and Jim Reeves

Conway and Charley Bride

Ol' Hank was the man, is the man, will be the man

Ain’t nobody disputin' that

But then I turned thirteen, a little bitty James Dean

And went to see Foghat

I got a rock 'n roll bone, it quickly came alive

I knew I had to have it for this country boy to survive

I found Chuck Barry, The Batles and The Rolling Stones

Yah, me and, we got a rock 'n' roll bone

Next thing I remember, I was workin' in the beer joint

Cut and Shoot honky-tonk dives

It was me and Scotty up all night, tryna keep the music right

Singin' «Mama's Hungry Eyes»

May have seemed silly doin' so much Christian Willie

When the clientele just wanted to howl

But even lots of Waylon could only keep us sailin'

For just so long 'til the natives would growl

Well, the boss said pick it up, turn it up, and keep it up

And get the rowdies out of the door

But then we broke an inter to a bit of Lynyrd Skynyrd

Just to keep 'em out on the floor
