Bar Band

Consequences are out of control
Turning back the pages of rock n' roll
Little girl on the radio telling me right from wrong
Sorry honey, but you just don't turn me on
Whatever happened to that old Texas bottleneck sound?
Someday it will rise again from that sacred Delta ground

Chorus:
The wheels keep spinning, losing direction, displaced in time
Drinking our profits to paupers and poets
Heroes of mine
Take my baby down, take her down to the show
Hear my favorite bar band playing "Let the Good Times Roll"

As a child in my room listening to my 45's
I still hear something there that keeps my spirit alive
Girls hollering across the room, the register rings the bye and bye
Feedback solos, broken strings, p**sy sweats and I swear it smiles

Chorus:
The wheels keep spinning, losing direction, displaced in time
Drinking our profits to paupers and poets
Heroes of mine
Take my baby down, take her down to the show
Hear my favorite bar band playing "Let the Good Times Roll"

Consequences are out of control
Peeling back the pages of rock n' roll
Girls hollering across the room, the register rings the bye and bye
Feedback solos, broken strings, p**sy sweats and I swear it smiles

Chorus:
The wheels keep spinning, losing direction, displaced in time
Drinking our profits to paupers and poets
Heroes of mine
Take my baby down, take her down to the show
Hear that ol' bar band playing
"It's Only Rock 'n Roll" ...but I like it
