MIDNIGHT ROCKER - by Ray O'Bannon


I spend the day 'neath the boss's thumb
do my job till my brain is numb
take my pay and I'm out the door
headed straight for the music store
it all started with my first guitar
I'd swipe the speakers from my old man's car
I'd crank it up till the plaster cracked
wouldn't quit till I got smacked

you know there's something deep inside me
that only comes out at night

Chorus:
and I'm a midnight rocker, can't you see
I'm just a midnight rock catastrophy
I'm a midnight rocker, better treat me right
cuz when the full moon calls
don't you know I gotta rock all night
rock all night

dropped out of college, spent the dough
on better speakers for my stereo
seems to me like I've got all I need
as long as I can play till my fingers bleed
don't really care what the neighbors say
sun's down and it's time to play
tap a keg and fill your cup
'scuze me while I turn it up
you know there's something deep inside me
that only comes out at night

(chorus)
I'm a midnight rocker
I'm a midnight rocker
I'm a midnight rocker
I'm a midnight rocker

(chorus)
(chorus)
I'm a midnight rocker
I'm a midnight rocker
I'm a midnight rocker
I'm a midnight rocker...
