Rockin' chair money

Now I got rockin' chair money

But I got it the hard, hard way

I fought in every battle

From the start to the VJ day

Now I'll rock, yeah, rock

Oh baby rock, rock on down the line

Now some folks seem to be jealous

Some don't seem to care

But I got rockin' chair money, honey

To rock on away from here

'Cause I love to rock, yeah rock

Baby rock, rock on down the line

I rocked away out on the ocean

I rocked from here and there

My baby stepped out while I was gone

Now she don't get my rockin' chair

'Cause I love to rock, yeah rock

Baby rock, rock on down the line

I'll soon get my big check, baby

And then we'll have some fun

This rockin' chair money, honey

Is better than totin' a gun

'Cause I love to rock, yeah rock

Baby rock, let's rock on down the line

Now honey, let's go honky-tonkin'

Let's honky-tonk all night

Let's lolly gag and smooch and love

And do it all upright

'Cause I love to rock, yeah rock

Baby rock, let's rock on down the line
