(I Don't Want To) Hang up My Rock and Roll Shoes - The Band

Mama, she done told me She didn’t like this rock and roll

But mama, mama, please

Mama, you just don’t know

I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes

I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes

I get an old time feeling

Every time I hear the blues

They told me, «Get a job

And set yourself a goal»

But can’t they understand

I just want to rock and roll

I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes

I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes

Something happens to me Every time I hear the blues

I will do my homework

I’ll clean the yard every day

I will even do the dishes

I’ll do anything you say

That say that rock and roll

It’ll soon fade away

But I just want to tell you

Rock and roll is here to stay

I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes

I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes

I get a good time feeling

Every time I hear the blues

Some might even say

It put the devil in my soul

But that’s a bunch of shit

I just want to rock and roll

I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes

I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes

My feets got to move now

Every time I hear the blues
