From the recording A Little Bit Country
Lyrics
A little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll
Music that can pick you up and shake you to your very soul
It might sound a little outta date, but it’s always in control
A little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll
Down in Memphis, Sam Phillips looking for a different sound
Heard a skinny kid from Mississippi, suddenly the King was found
Playing ‘That’s alright mama’ with a backbeat
‘Blue moon of Kentucky’ with a sneer
Shake a leg son, give the people what they wanna hear
He was a little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll
Making music that can pick you up and shake you to your very soul
Now it might sound a little outta touch, but he’s always in control
A little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll
67 Woodstock, Dylan hangin’ with The Band
In the Big Pink basement, suddenly I understand
How Bobby took a trip into the country, and Robbie wrote a song about the South
Sing it to me man like the sweetest kiss upon the mouth
They were a little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll
Making music that can pick you up and shake you to your very soul
Now it might sound a little outta time, but they’re always in control
A little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll
Bob Dylan ‘69, Nashville Skyline, hanging with the country stars
James Taylor, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash passing ‘round an old guitar
If you ever really stop and think about it, they’re all drinking from the same old bowl
A little bit country, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll
A little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll
Music that can pick you up and shake you to your very soul
Now it might sound a little outta date, but it’s always in control
A little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll
I said, a little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll
