Roadhouse Blues
(The Doors)
E
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel *
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel *
Yeah, we're goin' to the Roadhouse
We're gonna have a real
Good time *
E
Yeah, back at the Roadhouse they got some one to love *
Yeah, back at the Roadhouse they got some one to love *
And that's sort of people
Who like to go down slow *

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
H-C-H
Let it roll, all night long

Do it, honey, do it
You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta thrill my soul, all right
Roll, roll, roll, roll
Thrill my soul
You gotta beep a gunk a chucha
Honk konk konk
You gotta each you puna
Each ya bop a luba
Each yall bump a kechonk
Ease sum konk
Ya, ride
I should have made you, I should have made you
Give up your vows, give up your vows
Save our city, save our city
Right now
Well, I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain, and the end is always near
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long
