We was out in St. Louis sweating bullets when the sun went down
When it came back up, we were shivering in Fargo town
In a rusty old van with a couple guitars in the back
But we're riding through your city like we're cruising in a Cadillac
In Nashville where the honky tonks are three stories high
Or in Lexington, Kentucky, playing for the sound guy
I've been living in these old Levi's jeans
Burning up cigarettes and gasoline
So keep 'er moving down that old highway
There's gonna be some rock 'n roll today
Ain't nobody come to see us play
There's gonna be some rock 'n roll
Today
Late afternoon and we're rolling into Indiana
Met a midwestern girl, wants to two-step with the band
I said baby if we put you on the guest list, we won't get paid
But the dance floor is bound to have plenty of open space
So keep 'er moving down that old highway
There's gonna be some rock 'n roll today
Few good folks come to see us play
There's gonna be some rock 'n roll
Country western
Today
Long as Sweet Pete's got his steel guitar and Samuel's got his drums
Chop's got his fiddle and mandolin and Cooper's got his thumb
Big brother brought along his tele, everything's alright
We'll play some live American music for our hometown tonight
And keep 'er moving down that old highway
There's gonna be some rock 'n roll today
Whole damn town come to see us play
There's gonna be some rock 'n roll today
Keep 'er moving down that old highway
There's gonna be some rock 'n roll today
Whole damn town come to see us play
There's gonna be some rock 'n roll
Country western
Honky tonk
Today
