[Verse 1]
Well, you know that I was sittin' back in Texas
I was playin' those rhythm and blues
Then I got a big offer
For more money than I could refuse
I had the chance to make it
Playin' anything I wanted to play
Way back in my mind
You know I could hear the people say

[Chorus]
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 and roll

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Don't you know that I've been doin' lots of thinkin'
I've been tryin' hard to figure it out
'Cause there's a certain kind of music, yeah
Gotta make you jump and shout, oh
Well, you could call it commercial
If you wanna see it that way
But way back in my mind
I can hear the people say
[Chorus]
Keep playin' that rock and roll (Keep on playin')
Keep doin' what you been told (Keep on playin')
Save your money up for when you get old (Keep on playin')
Yeah, guitar
Rock and roll, baby
