Lyrics of Whiskey rock-a-roller

(b. powell/e. king/r. van zant)

I'm headed down a highway got a suitcase by my side
Blue skies hangin' over my head i got 500 miles to ride
I'm goin' down to memphis town to play a latenight show
I hope the people are ready there 'cause the boys are all ready to go

Chorus:
Well, i'm a whiskey rock-a-roller
That's what i am
Women, whiskey and miles of travellin'
Is all i understand

I was born a travellin' man and my feets do burn the ground
I don't care for fancy music if your shoes can't shuffle around
I got a 100 women or more and there's no place i call home
The only time i'm satisfied is when i'm on the road

Chorus

Sometimes i wonder where will we go
Lord don't take my whiskey, rock and roll

Take me down to memphis town, busdriver get me there
I got me a queenie she got longbrown curly hair
She likes to drink old grandad and her shoes do shuffle around
And everytime i see that gal lord she wants to take me down

Chorus
