Country / Rock Medley

I’m a little bit country
And I’m a little bit rock and roll
I’m a little bit of
Memphis and Nashville
With a little bit a Motown in my soul
Don’t know if it’s good or bad
But I know I love it so
I’m a little bit country
And I’m a little bit rock and roll

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting
for its gold to turn to green
Now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life’s
The thing that I can’t win

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I’ll love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that
I would fly away with you
Yeah if I could you know that I
Would fly away with you

I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holdin’ hands and skimmin’ stones
Had an old gold Chevy and
A place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doin’ a thing
called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids are
Rockin’ ‘round the clock
We were hoppin’ and boppin’ to
The Crocodile Rock
Well Crocodile Rockin’ is
Something shocking
And when your feet
just can’t keep still
I never knew me a better time
And I guess I never will
Oh pretty Mama, those Friday nights
When Suzie wore her dresses tight
And a,  Crocodile Rockin’
was out of sight

Ya, ya ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya
Yeah

Tumble outta bed and
I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawnin’ stretchin’
 try to come to life
Jump into the shower and
the blood starts pumpin’
Out on the streets the
traffic starts jumpin’
To folks like me on
the job from 9 to 5

Workin’ 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin’
Barely getting’ by
It’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It’s enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 to 5
For service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won’t seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is
Out to get me
9 to 5

New York, New York
is everything they say
And no place that I’d rather be
Where else can you do
a half a million things
All at a quarter to three
When they play their music,
oooh, their modern music
They like it with a lotta style
But it’s still that same
old back beat rhythm
That really really drives ‘em wild

Dit, dit dit dit they say the heart of
Rock and roll is still beatin’
And from what I’ve seen I believe ‘em
Now the old boy may be barely breathin’
‘Cause the heart of rock and roll
Heart of rock and roll is still beatin’
Yeah

Left a good job in the city
Workin’ for the man ev’ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin’
Worryin’ ‘bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin’ (turnin’)
Proud Mary keep on burnin’ (burnin’)
Rollin’ (rollin’) rollin’ (rollin’)
Rollin’ on a river
Rollin’ (rollin’) rollin’ (rollin’)
Rollin’ on a river

I said rollin’ (rollin’) rollin’ (rollin’)
Rollin’ on a river
Rollin’ (rollin’) rollin’ (rollin’)
Rollin’ on a river

She’s a little bit country
He’s a little bit rock and roll
Oh, rock and roll (rock and roll)
Rock and roll (rock and roll)
Rock and roll (rock and roll) yeah
