Well, I guess
I'm just a rock and roll singer
Trying to find my way
I've been too busy listening
To what everybody else had to say
Advice, huh
Is nice
But I know I can't live twice, huh
And anyway once is all you need
If you live the right way
I suppose
I'm just a back street singer
Trying hard not to be
Something low I figured
That was bothering me for dignity
But I'm wrong
So wrong
And I know where I belong
I belong to the music
Of the music that will let me be me
Ohh, somewhere way back
In nineteen-fifty-eight or nine
I listened to the way I felt
Decided brother I felt fine
But the cash
From Splash
Made me feel like a one-record flash
So I took out after money
And I left my natural self behind
As a rock and roll singer
Living somewhere underneath this hat
Back street, back beat, rocking
Nothing wrong with that
It's real
Appeal
Is the way it makes you feel
And feeling is the only way
I'm going to know where we're at
I guess
I'm just a rock and roll singer
Trying to find my way
Well I've been too busy listening
To what everybody else had to say
Advice
