Rattlesnake Rock n' Roller Songtext
von Blackfoot

Howdy sokes, I mean folks
I′m fixin' to do ya a little banjo pickin′ down here in this old, big rattlesnake den
Boy, there's some big whoppers down here
And I know what they want me to do
They want me to pick somethin' real slow along on this banjo
But I ain′t gonna do it ′cause I like this fast rock-'n′-roll

Well I'd rather be a-fishin′
Or at least just a-wishin' I was
And if you really ask me
I′ll tell you what is in my heart
'Cause I'm a down home picker
And a country boy singer to start

I love cruisin′ down the highway
Gettin′ set to play at night
Or sittin' in a honky tonk
With a mason jar ′till light
And if I get the call
You know I'm not afraid to fight


′Cause I'm a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock ′n' Roller
Living in the city put a bite in my soul
If you live in the country they say
You will never grow older
If you're a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock ′n′ Roller

I'm a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock ′n' Roller
Living in the city put a bite in my soul
If you live in the country they say
You will never grow older
If you′re a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock 'n′ Roller

Well I'm a headin' for the country
With the stars shinin′ up above
Gonna do me some fishin′
Instead of just a-wishin' I was
′Cause a Rattlesnake bites
And a-moonlit nites is a-what I love


I'm a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock ′n' Roller
Oh, living in the city put a bite in my soul
If you live in the country they say
You will never grow older
If you′re a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rock 'n' Roller
