You wear a knowing smile now
A twinkle in your eye
Bringing back those memories
When life was not a lie
You toured before ten thousand strong
On music you were bred
The Quarter was your nursery
The Rising Sun your bed
Your brother was the ivory
Worn thin you played them well
When all the ladies gathered round
Sad stories they would tell
A friend to every wayward gal
Who came to watch and wait
Your fingers would caress their words
The nighttime was your fate
A minstrel and a vagabond
You lived through every song
And some day you’ll be going back
To where you do belong
From Baton Rouge through Memphis town
Then on to old Nashville
You opened and you closed the night
As rock bands always will
And though these times are history
They always do return
It’s then we’ll see that knowing smile
That day long nights did burn
You wear a knowing smile now
Forever and a day
Rockollections of those times
When rock and roll you’d play | | © 2007 David Devaney |
