Rockin' Bill
ROCKIN' BILL
Living in a two room walk up
The hour hotel across the lot
Making plans to hit the big time
Sometimes I wonder what you got
As we talked, I heard the bed springs
And a buzzin' deep and low
When I thought I heard some moaning
That's when I asked, if I should go
Did you make it to that big stage?
Did you rock it out once more?
Did you ever do the bad thing?
To try and even up the score
Well I never got to ask you
Guess I likely never will
Was she ready when you got home?
Was she ready, ready for you Rockin' Bill
You said, it didn't matter
She wasn't going anywhere
So we stepped down to the tavern
And we talked it over there
To pay for your rock show
You'd need ID and a flight or two
Down to the sunny islands
A couple keys would do
Did you make it to that big stage?
Did you rock it out once more?
Did you ever do the bad thing?
To try and even up the score
Well I never got to ask you
Guess I likely never will
Was she ready when you got home?
Was she ready, ready for you Rockin' Bill
Could be you had the answer
Way back in '82
It sounded kind of desperate
But that's what it's come down to
I passed on the offer
Plain to see that it couldn't wait
It was time to untie your lady
So she could work the bar at eight
Did you make it to that big stage?
Did you rock it out once more?
Did you ever do the bad thing?
To try and even up the score
Well I never got to ask you
Guess I likely never will
Was she ready when you got home?
Was she ready, ready for you Rockin' Bill
Living in a two room walk up
The hour hotel across the lot
Making plans to hit the big time
Sometimes I wonder what you got
As we talked, I heard the bed springs
And a buzzin' deep and low
When I thought I heard some moaning
That's when I asked, if I should go
Did you make it to that big stage?
Did you rock it out once more?
Did you ever do the bad thing?
To try and even up the score
Well I never got to ask you
Guess I likely never will
Was she ready when you got home?
Was she ready, ready for you Rockin' Bill
You said, it didn't matter
She wasn't going anywhere
So we stepped down to the tavern
And we talked it over there
To pay for your rock show
You'd need ID and a flight or two
Down to the sunny islands
A couple keys would do
Did you make it to that big stage?
Did you rock it out once more?
Did you ever do the bad thing?
To try and even up the score
Well I never got to ask you
Guess I likely never will
Was she ready when you got home?
Was she ready, ready for you Rockin' Bill

To try and even up the score
Well I never got to ask you
Guess I likely never will
Was she ready when you got home?
Was she ready, ready for you Rockin' Bill
