Keep Playin' That Rock 'n' Roll

Don't you know that I was sittin back in Texas
 I was playing those rhythm and blues
 And then I got a big offer
 For more money than I could refuse
 I had the chance to make it
 Playing anything I wanted to play
 But way back in my mind
 You know I could hear the people say
 Keep playing that rock and roll
 Keep doing what you been told
 Save your money up for when you get old
 Got to keep playing that rock and roll
 So I packed up and I made it up to New York
 Where my brother was a great big star
 Yeah he was doing funky music
 Singing and playing guitar
 Johnny was making the big time
 Everything was going his way
 But way back in my mind
 You know I could hear the people say
 Keep playing that rock and roll
 Keep doing what you been told
 Save your money up for when you get old
 Got to keep playing that rock and roll
 Don't you know that I've been doing lots of thinking
 I've been trying hard to figure it out
 But there's a certain kind of music, yeah
 Got to make you jump and shout
 Now you could call it commercial
 If you want to be that way
 But way back in my mind
 You know I could hear the people say
 Keep playing that rock and roll
 Keep doing what you been told
 Save your money up for when you get old
 Got to keep playing that rock and roll
 Oh you got to keep on playing
 (You got to keep on playing)
 Oh you got to keep on playing
 (You got to keep on playing)
 Oh you got to keep on playing
 (You got to keep on playing)
 Got to keep playing that rock and roll
 Keep playing that rock and roll
 Keep doing what you been told
 Save your money up for when you get old
 Got to keep playing that rock and roll
 Rock and roll
 Rock and roll
 To satisfy my soul
