lyrics

Retro Speakers

I'm gonna put on my Sabbath t-shirt
Throw on my favorite flannel
I'm gonna put on my retro speakers
and drop my favorite vinyl
Cause it's gotta be Lennon or Zeppelin baby
Cause I don't own any LMFAO
and now I've gotta ask you baby
Just what did you mean by shuffle
I don't want to hear that electro pop noise
I want to hear some rock n roll

I've got my blue jeans on baby
Blues jeans just never going outta style
Just like the blues I've got maybe
won't be around for a while
If you see me hiking up those pant legs while I'm wearing my white shades
I guess I'm coming back from the beach
Cause I just like to wear my boots and sing the blues
and I cut my teeth on Let It Bleed
I'm not a hipster, I'm not a hippy
I just like to rock n roll like Jimmy Reed

Don't want to hear those bells and whistles
Just want to hear it how it sounds
Don't want to know just what I'm missing
I leave it out and leave it loud

Cause if it ain't about Rollin and Tumblin babe
You can just count me out
Cause I'm a man that's on a mission
And I ain't got no room for doubt

I didn't do what mama told me
To go to bed and turn it down
I just played guitar all night
While all the others fooled around
I've always known just what I wanted
Always known just what I like
And nothings going to stop me
Rock and roll will never die

You know I've only been getting older lately
But I'm just trying to stay Forever Young
Just like my daddy always told me
"You just got to go listen to that song!"
Cause when I take a look around me, What do I see?
Well I don't see anything that relates to me
Think I've gotta wait around for the time machine
To take me back to 1973
Cause I want it louder and played by a drummer
Not a computer that's played by a rapper
I want you to move me, with what you're doing
Get my heart beating and keep my feet moving
Cause I turn on the radio and I think I just don't know
What happened to R&B? What happened to soul?
And where did the band go? Where are the solos?
Cause all I really want to hear is Rock N Roll
