Keep Playing That Rock and Roll    

Artist:  Edgar Winter



Don’t you know that, I was sitting back in Texas

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 way back in my mind, you know I could hear the people say, 


(Chorus)

Keep playin’ that rock and roll, keep doin’ what you’ve been told.

Save your money up for when you get old,

Got to keep playing that rock and roll. 


So I packed up and, I made it up to New York,

Where my brother was a great big star.

He was doin’ funky music, yeah

Singing and playing guitar.

Johnny was making the big time

Everything was going his way.

But way back in my mind,

You know I could hear the people say… 


(Chorus) 


{Instrumental chorus} 


Don’t you know that, I’ve been doin’ lots of thinking,

Well I’ve been tryin’ hard to figure it out.

But there’s a certain kind of music, yeah

Got to make you jump and shout.

Now you can cal it commercial,

If you want to see it that way.

But way back in my mind,

You know I can hear the people say… 


(Chorus)

(Modified Chorus)

Gotta keep on playin’, gotta keep on playin’

Gotta keep on playin’

Gotta keep playing’ that rock and roll 


(Chorus) 


3    …Satisfy my Soul.
