Let It Rock (Live)

Well, in the heat of day, down in Mobile, Alabama
Im workin on the railroad with a steel-drivin hammer
I gotta get some money, buy some brand new shoes
Gotta find somebody take away my blues
Well, she dont love me when Im singin in the sun
Paydays comin when the work is all done
Well now, late here in the evening, when the sun is sinkin low
All day , Ive been waitin for that whistle to blow
Sitting in a teepee, built right on here on the tracks
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings, boys, and scattere about
Weve got an off-shedule train comin, two miles out
Everybodys scrambling and a-runnin around
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
Foreman wants to panic, bout to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blows the whistle, loud and long
Cant stop the train, gotta let it roll on
'Bye-bye Johnny'
Well now, she drew out all of the money of Southern Trust
And put her little Johnny on a greybound bus
Leavin Louisiana for the golden west
Drowned in the tears from her happiness
Her own little son, named Johnny B. Goode
Gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode
Well, she remembers taking money after gathering crops
And buying Johnnys guitar at the brokers shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad site
He wouldnt get in trouble, she was satisfied
Well, she never knew there would come a day like this
When shed have to give Johnny a goodbye kiss
I said bye, bye, bye , bye
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye-bye, Johnny, goodbye, Johnny B. Goode
Well now, she finally got the letter shed been dreaming of
When Johnny wrote and told her he had done fell in love
As soon as he was married, hed bring her back
And build a mansion for her by the railroad trck
And every time you heard that locomotive roar
Shed be standing there, waiting at the kitchen door
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye-bye, Johnny, goodbye, Johnny B. Goode
