Well I was just a kid maybe 2 or 3
Had a bad nightmare scared the life outa me
Momma came in to calm my fears
When nothing she could do to would stop those tears
She carried me down the stairs
To that living room and sat down in that chair

And it rocked
It made me feel better
Dont know why but it really doesnt matter
It rocked
Thats all I know
Something about the rythm of it soothed my soul
And thats a feeling that i never forgot
And it rocked

I was 17 and I fell for this girl
As far as I could tell she was my only world
I was confused about life
In the dark about love
I heard alot of stories but I didn't know much
We took a drive down to the river one night
She told me when to stop then she kissed me just right

And it rocked
It made me feel better
Dont know why but it really doesnt matter
It rocked
Thats all I know
Something about the rythm of it soothed my soul
That old chevy had brand new shocks
But it rocked
After graduation I was workin odd jobs, changed a lot of oil in my uncles garage
Some friend of mine they were startin up a band
I would sing for free so I was their man
We were'nt that good and we seldom got paid
But everbody knew when we took the stage

It rocked
It made us feel better
Dont know why but it really doesnt matter
It rocked
Thats all I know
Something about the rythm of it soothed our soul
And thats a feeling that we never forgot
And it rocked
