It Rocked

Well, I was just a kid, maybe two or three
Had a bad nightmare, scared the life out of me
Mama came in to calm my fears
When nothing she could do would stop those tears
She carried me down the stairs
To that living room and sat down in that chair

And it rocked, it made me feel better
Don't know why but it really doesn't matter
It rocked, that's all I know
Something 'bout the rhythm of it soothed my soul
And that's a feeling that I never forgot
And it rocked

I was seventeen and I fell for this girl
As far as I could tell she was my only world
I was confused about life, in the dark about love
I heard a lot of stories but I didn't know much
We took a drive down to the river one night
She told me when to stop, then she kissed me just right

And it rocked, it made me feel better
Don't know why but it really doesn't matter
It rocked, that's all I know
Something 'bout the rhythm of it soothed my soul
That old Chevy had brand new shocks
But it rocked

After graduation I was working odd jobs
Changed a lot of oil in my uncle's garage
Some friends of mine they were starting up a band
I would sing for free so I was their man
We weren't that good and we seldom got paid
But everybody knew when we took the stage

It rocked, it made us feel better
Don't know why but it really doesn't matter
It rocked and thats all I know
Something 'bout the rhythm of it soothed our soul
And that's a feeling that we never forgot
And it rocked

And she made me feel better
Don't know why but it really doesn't matter
It rocked, that's all I know
Something 'bout the rhythm of it soothed my soul

It rocked
It made me feel better
It rocked
It rocked
Yeah, yeah, it rocked
