There's a downtown corner
People downtown know
And a back beat rythm
On the radio
And a girl who listens
To a young man's song
On a blackeyed ______
In a place I'm from

Well that young man sitting
On a _______________
He took a long term trip
First class plane
Now the whole world listens
To that one man's song
On a blackeyed ______
In a place I'm from

CHORUS
Tell me does it move you?
Does it soothe you?
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock 'n roll?
Tell me does it move you?
Does it soothe you?
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock 'n roll?

Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll

Well the men in black suits
On a screened in porch
Making birthday wishes
So that they won't know most
You can Hear him singing
Chariot swing low
On a blackeyed _____
In the place I know

CHORUS
Would you tell me does it move you?
Does it soothe you?
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock 'n roll?
Tell me does it move you?
Does it soothe you?
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock 'n roll?

Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll

CHORUS
Would you tell me does it move you?
Does it soothe you?
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock 'n roll?
Does it move you?
Does it soothe you?
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock 'n roll?

Na na na na na na
I've been there before
Na na na na na na
I've been there before
