Sure like to boogie after death comes callin'
Sure like rockin' when I'm far away
"Ooh Pooh Pah Doo" is lettin' Jesse watch the heavens
Paint another picture while you're turning grey
Instrumental Break
verse 2
Everything I knew about was always American
Skip a stone lightly and you'll be okay
Never really get my rockin' feet to movin'
Till somebody's singing "Not Fade Away"
Some cat's singin' "Not Fade Away"
Instrumental Break
Got mystery train fever
And I'm a believer
And go down Moses
And I'll send you red roses
Despai---r and death at an early age
verse 3
You sang about truckin' and the band had it movin'
If you were a lizard then you might be gone
A little self-indulgence never moved a mountain
Don't need the fiddler yellin' "Yeah, right on!"
Never need the fiddler yellin' "Yeah, right on!"
Instrumental Break
verse 4
You're my angel from a wet salvation
You can buy and sell me so you shine me on
Your mama worked hard and the acid made you think about it
Why, mother water, are the days all gone
Why, mother water, are the days all gone
Why, mother water, are the days all gone
Why, mother water, are the days all gone
Instrumental Break
Got mystery train fever
And I'm a believer
And go down Moses
And I'll send you red roses
Despai---r and death at an early age
