Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Raincheck

It's not high finance, it's called heart and soul

If it's rock and roll, got to go, go, go, go, go

Gonna keep moving on up to the higher ground

Gonna keep on moving on up, I got to stand my ground

Gonna keep on moving on up, I want to stick around

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Call me raincheck in the afternoon

Call me raincheck, need a shot of rhythm and blues

Call me raincheck, on a golden autumn day

Call me raincheck, I won't fade away, I won't fade away

I don't fade away, I don't fade away, unless I want to

Can't take my love away, ah 'cause it's here to stay

If it fades away, come back another day

Gonna keep on moving on up to the higher ground

Gonna keep on moving on up, I want to stick around

Gonna keep on moving on up, oh gonna stand my ground

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Won't let the bastards grind me down

My name is raincheck in the afternoon

My name is raincheck, need a shot of rhythm and blues

My name is raincheck, on a golden autumn day

My name is raincheck, and I don't fade away, I don't fade away

I don't fade away, I don't fade away, unless I want to

Move it up, move it up, move it up, move it up

Move it up, move it up, move it up, move it up

Move it up, move it up, move it up, move it up, move it up

Grind me down, grind me down, grind me down

My name is raincheck in the afternoon

My name is raincheck, need a shot of rhythm and blues

My name is raincheck, on a golden autumn day

My name is raincheck, and I don't fade away, I don't fade away

I don't fade away, I don't fade away, unless I want to

Put on your dancing shoes, dance away your blues

When I'm feeling like this, I got nothing to lose

want to keep on moving on up to the higher ground

want to keep on moving on up and I'll stick around

want to keep on moving on up, got to stand my ground

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Oh, won't let the bastards grind me down

My name is raincheck in the afternoon

My name is raincheck, need a shot of rhythm and blues

My name is raincheck, on a golden autumn day

My name is raincheck, and I don't fade away, I don't fade away

I don't fade away, I don't fade away, unless I choose

I choose, I choose, I choose

No, I don't fade away, I don't fade away, I don't fade away

Unless I choose, I choose, I choose

I choose, I choose, I choose

I choose, I choose, I choose

I choose, I choose, I choose

I choose, I choose, I choose

No, I won't fade away, I won't fade away, I don't fade away

Unless I want to
