| My mama | showed me how to rock in the cradle |
| But I learned how to roll along |
| My papa said, son, gotta get some fun |
| 'Cause when your old it ain't too good on your own |

| Been so long since you heard my song |
| Gonna pick up my guitar and play |
| Felt so bad when I had to leave you |
| But I knew that I'd be back some day |
| E |
| To give you more than you bargained for |
| No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake |
| E |
| Gon | na rock and roll and give you my soul |
| E |
| I got | over the pain I'm comin' home again |
| Groovin' to American Bandstand |
| The thrill is gone, but it won't be for long |
| 'Cause you know I like to play how you feel |
| Now that we're back together |
| Gonna shiver and shake all night |
| I just gotta say the music I play |
| Will sure 'nough make you feel alright |
| Though I learned how to rock in the cradle |
| And rollin' came so easy to me |
| From all the years I travelled the world |
| Made it all so clear to see |
| Been so long since you heard my song |
| Gonna pick up my guitar and play |
| Felt so bad when I had to leave you |
| But I knew that I'd be back some day |
| To give you more than you bargined for |
| No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake |
| Gonna rock and roll and give you my soul |
| I got over the pain I'm comin' home again |
| Shiver and shakin' anticpatin' |
The thrill is gone but it won't be for long
