Let That Tape Keep Rolling

Well I woke up in the morning

I said a morning prayer

I washed my face with soap

And ran my fingers through my hair

I went down to the studio

On hollywood and vine

The clock said 'leven thirty

Well I made it just in time

I greeted the musicians

I grabbed the nearest chair

I started playing my guitar

And told the engineer

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon c'mon c'mon

The first song that we cut was called

"lonely by myself"

I'll do the vocal later

You can leave it on the shelf

The second song we cut was called

"unlucky blues"

The session's getting better now

We're turning on the juice

The last song took us seven takes

The first one took us ten

Let's give it all we got

And do the chorus once again

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

Let it roll

Do you hear me singing

On your record machine

The piano banging

The guitars twanging

The water cooler's clanging

The light bulb's hanging

Yes the music's playing

The production's clean

Cross fade all the tracks

Don't leave no spaces in between

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

Lead guitars

Well I started out ten years ago

My guitar in my hand

I took the music in my heart

And played it with a band

I went down to the tower

To record upon this rock

I sang it like I felt it

I just let the music talk

I know where I am going

And I know who I must be

Don't care how long it takes me

Cause there's lots of things to see

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon let that love keep flowing

C'mon let your faith keep growing

C'mon get that Good News going

C'mon let your light keep shining

C'mon be careful what you're signing

C'mon let that love keep flowing

C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

Aoww hehheh

Alright alright

He come walking down my street

He come up to my room

He knock on my door

He come into my heart

He make me feel so good so good

So good so good so tough

I'm going Home

Bou bou bou bou bou bou

Bou bou bou bou bou bou

Bou bou bou bou bou

Back Home

He'll come down make you feel alright

Like a thief in the middle of the night

In the middle of the night

Cha heh heh heh heh hah cha cha

Ooh la la la ta ta la la sha la la la

Ooh la la la ta ta la sha la la

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

C'mon c'mon

When the Lord gets ready

You got to move

Heh heh wanna do it again?
