Keep Playing That Rock 'N' Roll Songtext
von Edgar Winter

Don′t you know that I was sittin' back in Texas
[hah]
I was playin′ those rhythm and blues
And then I got a big offer
For more money than I could refuse

I had my chance to make it
Playin' anything I wanted to play
But playing back in my mind
You know I could hear the people say

Keep playin' that rock and roll
Keep doin′ what you been told
[whoo]
Save your money up for when you get old
Got to keep playin′ that rock 'n′ roll

So I packed up and I made up to New York
[hah]
Where my brother was a great big star
He was doin' funky music [yeah]
Singin′ and playin' guitar


Johnny was makin′ the big time
Everything was goin' his way
But playing back in my mind
You know I could hear the people say

Keep playin' that rock and roll
Keep doin′ what you been told
Save your money up for when you get old
Got to keep playin′ that rock 'n′ roll [Ya-oooo]

Don't you know that I been [grooin′] like a baby
Well I have been tryin' hard to figure it out
But there′s a certain kinda music [yea]
Got to make you jump and shout

Ooh, now you can call it commercial
If you wanna see it that way
But playing back in my mind
You know I could hear the people say

Keep playin' that rock and roll
Keep doin' what you been told
Save your money up for when you get old
Keep playin′ that rock and roll


Hah, ya got to keep on playin′ [ya got to keep on playin']
Hah, ya got to keep on playin′ [oh, oh, keep on playin']
Ya got to keep on playin′ [ya got to keep on playin']
That rock and roll

Ooooh, keep playin′ that rock and roll
Keep doin' what you been told
Save your money up for when you get old
Gotta to keep playin' that rock and roll

Rock and Roll [Rock and Roll]
Satisfy my soul
