There's a down town corner People down town know And a back beat rhythm on the radio And the girl who listens to a young man's song On the block I live on In the place I'm from
Well the young man sitting On the dock of the bay He took a long-term trip on a first class plane Now the whole world listens To that one man's song On the block I live on In the place I'm from
Tell me does it move you Does it soothe you Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll Does it move you Does it soothe you Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll
Well the man in black sits On a screened in porch Making birthday wishes, 71 almost You can hear him singing chariot Swing low On the block I live on In the place I know
Tell me does it move you Does it soothe you Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll Does it move you Does it soothe you Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll
Tell me does it move you Does it soothe you Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll Does it move you Does it soothe you Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll
Na na na na, I've been there before Na na na na,I've been there before Na na na na, I've been there before Na na na na, I've been there before
When you can't get through it You can listen to it With a na na na na Well I've been there before
When you can't get through it You can listen to it With a na na na na Well I've been there before
