Take it from me it's a mystery, where all my money goes
How I make it week to week, only God almighty knows
Tonight's the night, I make it right, I'm fixin' to go into town
Buy all the drinks, kiss all the girls, spread my charming self around
Chorus:
Tonight I wanna rock and roll my baby, maybe dance a dance or two with yours
Crowd up to the bar and order whiskey then I want to hang out till they close the doors
Tonight my soul is young and wild and frisky,
I can't stop this urge I've got to laugh
Now if you find my attitude offensive, well honey that's just too damn bad
Well I've seen it in the papers, how Jerry Jeff is getting old
He's an aging desperado, too old now to rock and roll
Well at least I know I was one, not a writer talkin' to the wall
In fact I want it written down here, I lived long enough to do it all
Chorus
I'll get to feeling so damn good, I'll have to have a new tattoo
I'll catch a cab and go uptown and get some new taps put on my shoes
I have to go to Antone's joint to get right inside some funky blues
Then wind up dancing at the Spoke and sittin' in 'til way past two
Chorus
Jerry Jeff Walker, born Ronald Clyde Crosby, was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist who achieved great success in the 1970s. Also known as Gypsy Songman, he made a significant impact on the country, country rock, folk rock, and rock and roll music scenes. His music, often characterized by ironic lyrics and stories of lived experience, won over a large and loyal audience. Among his most famous songs are "Mr. Bojangles", a ballad that tells the story of a street dancer, and "Desperados Waiting for a Train", a song that became a classic of the outlaw country genre.
