Rockin' chair money

Now I got rockin' chair money

But I got it the hard, hard way
I fought in every battle
From the start to the VJ day


Now I'll rock, yeah, rock
Oh baby rock, rock on down the line


Now some folks seem to be jealous
Some don't seem to care

But I got rockin' chair money, honey
To rock on away from here


'Cause I love to rock, yeah rock
Baby rock, rock on down the line


I rocked away out on the ocean
I rocked from here and there
My baby stepped out while I was gone

Now she don't get my rockin' chair

'Cause I love to rock, yeah rock

Baby rock, rock on down the line

I'll soon get my big check, baby

And then we'll have some fun
This rockin' chair money, honey
Is better than totin' a gun


'Cause I love to rock, yeah rock
Baby rock, let's rock on down the line


Now honey, let's go honky-tonkin'
Let's honky-tonk all night

Let's lolly gag and smooch and love
And do it all upright


'Cause I love to rock, yeah rock
Baby rock, let's rock on down the line
