Berry Rides Again

Well thinkin' of my school days I remember Maybeline
Used to dance with her all night she was little sweet sixteen
Her brother used to chase me, he thought I did but I never could
I used to call him Little Queenie, his name was Johnnie B. Good

I used to hold her till I was older then I got bolder
Her brother used to scold her I left there in the mornin'
Went back to Memphis, Tennessee
You know her brother never found me and that's all right with me

I went to New York City to find what could be found
Just for kicks down sixty-six, stopped in L.A. Town
Yes I went to California just to see what I could see
Well nobody knew just where I was and that's alright with me

You know I met a girl named Carol and her girlfriend sweet Nadine
Played the Rock 'n' Roll music, used to kiss me in between
Roll over Beethoven that happened to be favorite song
But we never did much rollin', I didn't stay there long

I used to hold her and try to mold her
Somebody told her, Nadine and I were bolder
I left there in the mornin' went back to Memphis, Tennessee
You know I never saw her face again and that's alright with me

I used to hold her and try to mold her
Somebody told her, Nadine and I were bolder
I left there in the mornin' went back to Memphis, Tennessee
You know I never saw her face again and that's alright with me
