There's a black cat down on the Key side
Ship's light, green eyed glowing in the dark
To young cops handing out a big debt
Know how to hurt and leave no mark
We're down in the half lit bar of the hotel
There's a call for the last round of the day
Push back a stool, take that elevator ride
Fall in bed and kick my shoes away
Kick my shoes away, kick my shoes away
Rocks on the road, yea
Can't sleep to the wild sound of a city
You call for the young boys heading for a fight
Long distance telephone keeps ringing out of gage
Wonder who your talking with tonight
Talking with tonight, your talking with tonight
Rock on the road, yea
Tire coming wakes me in the morning
Shower runs hot, runs cold playing with me
I'm up for the downside, life invention, all that stuff
So come and shake some apples from my tree
Have to pay on the minibar manners
Itemized phone bill overload
Well I'm, now how about some heavy road
Move these rocks on the road
On the road, rocks on the road, mumhum
Crumbs on a breakfast table
And a million other little things to spool my day
How about a little light music
To chase it all away, chase it all away
There's a black cat down on the Key side
Ship's light, green eyed glowing in the dark
To young cops handing out a big debt
Know how to hurt and leave no mark
We're down in the half lit bar of the hotel
There's a call for the last round of the day
Push back a stool, take that elevator ride
Fall in bed and kick my shoes away
Kick my shoes away, kick my shoes away
Rocks on the road
Kick my shoes away, kick my shoes away
Rocks on the road, yea
