(INTRO)
I gotta rock 'n roll band, electric guitar
and a gig on Saturday night
I'm gonna rock, I'm gonna roll, I'm gonna sock, I'm gonna score
I'm gonna do it 'til I get it right
and I make a livin', not a killin'
I make a livin', not a killin'
but I make a livin', not a killin'
in a night club with a lowdown ceilin'
and it's hot, and smoky, and I'm bad
I got Rod on the bass and Bobby on drums
and me on lead guitar
I made ninety seven dollars playin' seven nights a week
I barely make the payments on my car
and I make a livin', not a killin'
I make a livin', not a killin'
I make a livin', not a killin'
in a night club with a lowdown ceilin'
and it's hot, and it's smoky, and I'm bad
and I ain't real rich like you know who
you don't know my name
I ain't got a star in Hollywood
and I ain't in the Country Hall of Fame - ah!
(HARP SOLO)
well, I ain't real rich like you know who
and you don't know my name
I ain't got a star in Hollywood
an' I ain't in the Country Hall of Fame
I'm just a hard workin' guy with an ax in my hand
choppin' to beat the blues
I ain't never had a hit, so don't gimme no shit
don't step on my blue suede shoes
'cause I make a livin', not a killin'
I make a livin', not a killin'
but I make a livin', not a killin'
in a night club with a lowdown ceilin'
and it's hot, and its smoky,
and I'm not, I'm not jokin'
when I say I'm hot and it's smokin'
and I'm bad
