Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) played guitar. I played bass and sang.

The Old Man's Rocker

His first guitar stood higher than his height
He grew to play it so well.
In time he had a gig nearly every night,
and the crowds began to swell.
He took with him a spouse, bought an old farmhouse.
They loved their country air.
They retired from that scene cuz it didn't fit their dream.
They bought rocking chairs.

Now the old man's rocker's rollin' on the porch, He shreds the days away.
He survived the 60s, He's lighting up the torch with flames of carefree play.

Neighbors came from far and wide, and some joined in to play.
The porch began to rock when he played his slide,
and no one stopped the sway.
His bandmates got real tight playing every night,
that feeling now restored.
He stood beside his chair and strummed away with flare.
The neighbors cheered for more.

The old man's rocker's creeking on the beat. He loves his rock & rye.
Through rain and shine he brings the heat. That old flame now won't die.

Rock. Rock, old man. Rock up on your porch.
