We Don’t Rock
This song is NOT finished! I’m putting this up here mainly for musician friends to take a look at and see if they can replace my drum part, guitar part etc, with something that rocks more. I also need to fade out somewhere around 3 – 3 1/2 minutes, etc.
We Don’t Rock Any More by Willy Grigg November 2020
We don’t rock any more, we don’t rock any more
We don’t get out in the street
We don’t get out on the floor
We don’t rock any more
(we used to rock)
We used to shake it on down and writhe in ecstasy
(We used to rock)
We used to bang on the drum
And howl at the moon ‘til a quarter to three
But we don’t rock any more….
We do the same things every day
Sometimes it feels like a bore
We don’t rock any more
(We used to rock)
We were loud and proud and dumb
We could do most anything
(We used to rock)
We used to jump right in
We had a lot of dreams
We used to believe
But we don’t rock any more
Staying Alive
Original recording 1/11/2020 with Rod Meyer on drums. Overdubs by Willy
Staying Alive by Willy Grigg
Staying alive, staying alive
I’m having a pretty good time, just staying alive
The miles roll by, the clock runs down
You notice a lot of the people you knew
Are not around
They had their time, you’ve still got yours
And maybe there’s still something out there
You’d like to explore
Staying alive..
At the end of the hall, you see a door
A door so many of the people you’ve known
Have gone through before
You feel the darkness, The night draws near
Maybe you’d like to do something important
While you’re still here
Staying alive
Baby please don’t go
Don’t you leave me alone
You think anybody’s gonna care about me
When you’re gone?
