Back in '67 Songtext
von Average White Band

Back in ′67 I could see my way to heaven with a rock 'n′ roll band
Time was right for choosin' and working seemed like losin'
Some folks don′t understand

Well, it′s a 20-piece travelin' show
There′s another 22 down below
But there's only one way to go
So we′re movin' on

Now we have lunatics and drinkers, 15 woman shriekers
But the jokes are clean
And from Egypt to Stonehaven the scenes have been amazing, well you know what I mean
But it′s a 20-piece travelin' show, there's another thousand miles still to go
The company is getting slow, yes it is


As long as it′s freezing, that song keeps just squeezing me on, squeezing me on
But we just got to keep it movin′, got to keep it movin' on
Hm, you show me

Oh, we just got to keep it movin′, got to keep it movin' on

Well now, you name the places
We can show our faces anywhere that you want
And if the room has got a floor then there′s room for thousands more
The field is there if you want

'Cause it′s a 20-piece travelin' show
There's another 22 down below
But there′s only one way to go, listen now

As long as it′s freezing, that song keeps just squeezing me on
It's just squeezing me on
Well, we just got to keep it movin′, got to keep it movin' on

Now, we just got to keep it movin′, got to keep it movin' on, yes we have
Yeah, we just got to keep it movin′, got to keep it movin' on
Ah-hey
