Lucky says I can’t sing too good 
Says he’s got his limitations 
But them kids up there on the video screens 
They’re just pale imitations 
And it ain’t just a record you’d hear on the jukebox 
Every note means something about something he’s learned about 
It’s a kiss from a girl or an old bloodshot forget-me-not 
It’s all there for a reason – it’s all figured out 

Lucky plays a Telecaster 
Always wears a collar and tie 
Once jammed with Muddy Waters 
And he’s playing up in Lambeth tonight 
But the work’s drying up a bit now there’s some new kids moved to town 
But he’s still looking for that lucky break 
His wife walked out on him about a year ago 
Believe in something, you’ve got to believe it all the way 

So drive me down the block 
Don’t stop 
Let’s rock around the clock 
Let’s knock a hole into the heavens 
And let the angels out again 
I’ll take that scowl in my hands 
And break it 
I’ve got so many friends out there 
That didn’t make it 
I guess they won’t forsake me 
If i get caught out on lovers’ lane 

Get him to tell you the Elvis one 
It’s a double scotch for an anecdote 
Last orders and the lights come on 
It’s a cigarette and a dirty joke 
And they don’t play as much now as they used to do 
But on their nights they still drive like an old machine 
It’s guitars son – they don’t care about politics 
It’s rock ‘n’ roll man – you know what I mean
