We can dance if you want to. We can leave your friends behind.
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play a guitar just like a ringing a bell.
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Goode
"Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy"
I guess it's got something to do with luck
But I waited my whole life for just one...
The call Alabama the Crimson Tide,
Call me Deacon Blues.
"Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more"
Hello, I've waited here for you...
not in a song, but....
"I've got the guitar, I can do what I want"
James Osterberg
You won't shout as I fiddle about!
A Great Rock Song! All the lines are great. In a live version he tells a story of being in the hood in LA. Do you know where you are? You in the jungle!
Welcome to the jungle
We've got fun 'n' games
We got everything you want
Honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey
We got your disease
[CHORUS:]
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
knees, knees
I wanna watch you bleed
Welcome to the jungle
We take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed
But it's the price you pay
And you're a very sexy girl
That's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get them for free
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
I, I wanna hear you scream
Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse here everyday
Ya learn ta live like an animal
In the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me
[CHORUS]
And when you're high you never
Ever want to come down, YEAH!
You know where you are
You're in the jungle baby
You're gonna die
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
It' gonna bring you down-HA!
Mmmbop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du, yeah
"Father?" "Yes, son?" "I want to kill you."
"Mother, I want to fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc'monyeah!"

Definitely Rock and Roll
Albert King: Born under a bad sign. Every line a winner.
Motorhead: Killed by death.
MC5: Kick out the jams
Descendents: All. No all! Be patient and listen to the whole song. It's brilliant.

He was the nazz. With God given ass. I always thought he sang he was the nads; both work well.
"I like big butts and I cannot lie..."
The answer is "When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose."
The answer is "When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose."
Maybe not the best line per se, but more of a cautionary tale
"Don't pay the ferry man until he gets you to the other side."
I Hope I die before I get old.
People try to put us down...
Just because we get around...
Things they do look awful cold...
Fill in the blanks.
