'Ol Roadie - Mister B
I'm and old roadie
For a rock and roll band
Pulling in to Tupelo tonight
I'll uncoil the cables
And string their guitars
Set up the stage in Tupelo just right
And I'll be singing, sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And the drummer looks so young, he could be my son
I've watched the bands come
And I've watched the bands go
Like an oak watching sapling get blown down
I shook hands with Elvis
Changed Hendrix's Strings
Ozzy and me got wasted in a lot of towns
And we were singing, sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And the drummer looks so young, he could be my son
Always wait for the moment
When the house lights go down
And I hear the band start to play
Heeeeey
I'm and old roadie
For a rock and roll band
Pulling in to Tupelo tonight
I've known lots of women
None I'd call my own
You'd better hide the girls in Tupelo tonight
Or they'll be singing, sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And the drummer looks so young, he could be my son
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Let's take it home
Cos tomorrow we gotta be
In Tennessee
We're pulling in to Tupelo tonight
