Lyrics

Come on everybody, let's go way back in time Let  me introduce you to a friend of mine He  couldn't dance, he couldn't sing But that boy would take a shot at anything He wrestled alligators with your man Dundee Well,  he even threw a punch at Muhammad Ali (I've  got a photograph to prove it) And tattooed on his butt was "I just wanna rock" I  just wanna rock Jersey, St. Louis, then out to L.A Had to take a look at how the big boys play He gave his heart, he gave his soul And  he spend a lotta money on rock and roll He grooved with the Doobies and he smoked a few If you had a sore back, well he'd fix that too And every mornin' when he got out of bed He'd walk up to the mirror, start shaking his head I could be digging drains but instead I'm just gonna rock Just gonna rock (Eddie wants to rock, Eddie wants to roll, come on Eddie!) Just gonna rock, just gonna rock It wasn't all crazy, wasn't all just fun Eddie took care of business when it had to be done He saved a few lives coming down the line And I'm sure real happy, one of them was mine I haven't seen Eddie Been a long, long time And I really miss that old friend of mine But you can bet your bottom dollar That wherever he went He'll be kicking up trouble It was money well spent Showing all the new kids on the block Hey kids, you just gotta rock! Just gotta rock (Eddie wants to rock, Eddie wants to roll, come on Eddie!) Hey you, just gotta rock I wonder whatever happened to that guy Man, we had some great times Well, hope you like your song, Eddie Eddie wanna rock, Eddie wanna roll Eddie wants to rock, Eddie wants to roll Wanna know a secret? I've still got Eddie Rabbit
