Lyrics
I need some excitement, Lord knows I need to fly,
Friends are all busy, I put on the shirt and tie,
I go to the city, take a good look around,
Bleeker and Thompson, looks like everyone's in town.
Now I don't mind, the rough side of the city,
The people are tough, the streets are all gritty,
But you can relate to everyone, rocking on down.
Rocking on down, rocking on down, rocking on down,
I'm wearing the shoes of the town, but I'm rocking on down.
I need to relax, Lord knows I need some rest,
'Cause working all day, you know I always do my best,
I go to the country, take a few friends of mine,
We cut down some home grown, make it to the concert in time.
Now I don't mind the roar of the lions,
The temperature's right, the birds are all flying,
But you can relate to everyone, rocking on down.
Rocking on down, rocking on down, rocking on down,
My feet hardly touch the ground, but I'm rocking on down.
Rocking on down, rocking on down, rocking on down,
I got the keys to the town, but I'm rocking on down.
