workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
hot and wasted sweatin' in the sun
'cause i'm not a foreman 'till my work is all done
later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
i'll be out there waitin' for the whistle to blow
sittin' in the teepee smokin' out on the track
rollin' them bones till my foreman get back
suddenly i hear the breakman up and shout
there's a non-stop train runnin' just two miles out
everybody jumpin' and a screaming around
tryin to get a line an get the teepee down
railroad owner's 'bout to go insane
tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
here come the engineer honk his horn
he got a train you got to let it roll on
rock and roll all night long
long time ago in missouri
chuck used to say: there she is again over there by the record machine
lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
too damn cute to be a minute over 13
meanwhile.ol' chuck he be thinkin'
i got a chance and lord i'm gonna take it
if she'll dance we might even make it
rock an roll rock an roll rock an roll
rock an roll rock an roll rock an roll
mr. drew abbott from royal oak
mr. chris campbell right here on bass from plymouth
charlie martin on the drums from detroit
tommy cartmell on saxophone from birmingham
robin robbins on keyboards from grosse point
i'm bob seger i'm from ann arbor
shake baby shake. i believe we're about ready don't you?
said go on and let it rock
reach on down in your soul
a little bit of detroit michigan soul
rock an roll all night long
you're a beautiful audience good night
good night and get high and have a good time thank you
