Back In '67 (First Version) (1971-72) Songtext
von Average White Band

Back in ′67 I could see my way to heaven with a rock 'n′ roll band
The time was right for choosin' and working seemed like losin'
Some folks don′t understand
Now 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 shrekers
But jokes are clean
And from Egypt to Stonehaven the scenes have been amazing, well you know what I mean
′Cause it's a 20-piece travelin' show
There′s another thousand miles still to go
The company is getting slow


As long as it′s freezing that song keeps squeezing me on
Keeps squeezing me on
Keep the music playing, keep the music playing on
I'm sure

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
And we'll be there if you want
Yes, it′s a 20-piece travelin' show
There's another 22 down below
But there′s only one way to go

As long as its freezing that song keeps squeezing me on
Keeps squeezing me on
We got to keep it movin′, got to keep it movin' on
Ah, we got to keep it movin′, got to keep it movin' on
Yeah, we just got to keep it movin′, got to keep it movin' on
