Let It Roll

Dr.Feelgood Let It Roll Lyrics
1.Java Blue(S)

(rick danko, emmett grogan)

Stopped by a diner, and the blond behind the counter
Asked if she could help in any way
I could tell by her smile, her number i could dial
If i was in the need of company
I asked her for some java
Instead she brought a cup of chickory

A taste of java is like a volcanic rush
Nobody's gonna stop me from drinking too much
Costs many more than you care to pay
But money is nothin, compared to a fired-up day
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
The only pick-me-up that's here to stay

Java blues... coffee's got me
Java blues... coffee coffee coffee
Java blues... well the coffee's got me
Java blues... coffee coffee coffee

You know that i'll stay high
Drinkin coffee till i die
Java blues

Won't you boil me water, fill up my cup
You know it takes alot to keep me up
Down in bolivia, the people are insane
They want as much for java as they do for cocaine
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
The only pick-me-up that's here to stay

Java blues... coffee's got me
Java blues... coffee coffee coffee
Java blues... you don't know what it does to me
Java blues... coffee coffee coffee

You know that i'll stay high
Drinkin coffee till i die
Java blues...


2.Feels Good

(mayo/wingfield)

Well i locked my heart up long ago
And i threw away the key
But you opened the door to your precious love
And i want the whole world to see
How you brought it on home to me

And it feels good
From my head to my toes
You got me tingling all over in side
Yes it feels good
And i'm here to let you know
It's a feeling that i can't hide

No other girl does it quite like you
I'd always get the third degree
I had nobody to do the hoodoo that you do
'till you put the voodoo on me
And it's better than i thought it would be

Because it feels good
From my hat to my shoes
You got me jumping like never before
Yes it feels good
Just too good to lose
Better baby do it some more

I need your sweetness like a jet needs fuel
Won't you let me guide through your love
Don't lean on me baby, don't be cruel
You know what i'm dreaming of

- saxophone solo -

This rocket in my pocket
Well it's burning hot
It's itching on a launching pad
'cause you've got what i want
And you need what i got
You give me something that i've never had
And it's so good its just got to be bad

Although it feels good
From my head to my toes
You got me tingling all over in side
Yes it feels good
And i've got to let you know
It's a feeling i just can't hide

Well it feels good
From my hat to my shoes
You got me rockin' like never before
Feels good
It's too good to lose
Open up baby, give me more

Feels good - tingling in side
Feels good - mmmm
Feels good - rocket in my pocket
Feels good - ahhh haaa
Feels good

5.Hong Kong Money

(mayo/brilleaux/sparks/martin/wingfield)

It's an eastern promise, it's a pot of gold
It's the oldest story that's ever been told, that's right
You can follow me but you gonna have to pay
Heaven's at the end of this alleyway tonight

Hong kong money
Let that dollar roll
All you need is the cash
The rest ain't nothing but trash
Hong kong money
Stole my soul

Tried hard to shake it but i guess i couldn't make it
Lord only knows it's hard on the opium run
I didn't really wanna hang around too long
Just wasn't my dish of egg fou yung no fun

Hong kong money
Let that dollar roll
Just as long as you make with the green
You'll be cool if you know what i mean
Hong kong money
Stole my soul

You can make it quick but you can lose it easy
You go in clean but you come out wheely, here's why
It's that yellow powder, it's sweet but it's sour
One false move and you can kiss this world goodbye

Hong kong money
Let that dollar roll
All you need is the cash
The rest ain't nothing but trash
Hong kong money
Stole my soul

Hey you!
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll

7.Shotgun Blues

(mayo/brilleaux/sparks/martin)

Run, get my shotgun
Give me two shells in my hand
Run, get my shotgun
Put two shells in my hand

It's a bullet for my baby
A dedication for her backdoor man

Two kinds of people
Two kind of people i just cannot stand
Two kinds of people
Two kind of people i just cannot stand

One is a lone woman
The other is a cheatin' man

- organ and guitar solo -

Run, get my shotgun
Put two shells in my hand
Please run, get my shotgun
Put two shells in my hand

I'm gonna kill my baby
And blast and blast her fancy man


8.Pretty Face

(daneski/worman/boyle/sandall)

Oh pretty baby you just can't talk
Oh pretty baby you just can't walk
All you've got is a pretty face
All you've got is a pretty face

I've been told you'll never graduate
Left your chances a little bit late
All you've got is a pretty face
All you've got is a pretty face

When your big brown eyes started looking at me
Your cute little smile is coming through to me
Yes pretty baby now i can see
I found a lover

Oh pretty baby you just can't talk
Oh pretty baby you just can't walk
All you've got is a pretty face
All you've got is a pretty face

- guitar solo -

I've been told you'll never graduate
Left your chances a little bit late
All you've got is a pretty face
All you've got is a pretty face

When your big brown eyes started looking at me
And your cute little smile is coming through to me
Yes pretty baby now i can see
I found a lover


9.Riding On The L&n


10.Drop Everything And Run

(wingfield/vernon/foster)

Jimmy was a winner back in his home town
People came to see him play from miles around
Then one morning he woke up and looked himself in the face
Said i'm going round in circles i ain't gettin' no place
All this working for peanuts is getting way out of hand
I've had about as much of it as i can stand

Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Drop, drop everything and run
I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights
Goodbye small time from tonight
Gonna' drop, drop everything and run

Jimmy gave his notice headed down to the smoke
Well it wasn't too much later he was hungry and broke
He'd been paying out good money for a hole in the wall
Gigging every night and earning nothing at all
Said the work that i've been dreaming of is way out of reach
I've got to be a bigger pebble on a smaller beach

Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Drop, drop everything and run
I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights
Now it's 'hello home town, bye tonight'
Gonna' drop, drop everything and run

Oooh aaahhh that crazy jimmy
Oooh aaahhh
Back amongst his friends he had to swallow his pride
'cause he thought the grass was greener on the other side

Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Drop, drop everything and run
I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights
Now it's 'hello home town, bye tonight'
Gonna' drop, drop everything
Drop, drop everything
Drop, drop everything and run
