          ROCK CAKES     (C)J.Birch/R.Lynes 1983.

         

          Well) let me tell you something

          'Bout something I'm a lovin'

          They got a sweet aroma

          That’s second to nothin'

          & When my mama calls me

          I say mama I'm a comin'

          To get those ROCK CAKES

          Fresh out'a the oven

 

          For goodness sakes , those , ROCK CAKES

 

          Well mama taught the baker to bake a rock cake yer

          & the baker taught his daughter who’s my pretty baby

          & when my baby calls me I say baby I'm a comin

          To get those ROCK CAKES fresh out'a the oven

 

          For goodness sakes , those , ROCK CAKES

 

          Well) you’ve tasted rock'n'roll

          & you’re workin for bread

          You drink a little pop

          & music’s in your head

          But) together...

          They aint ,... nothin

          What it takes

          Is those  ... ROCK CAKES

 

          IF YOU CAN COOK A COOKIE

          & COOK IT LIKE A ROOKIE

          WHEN MY NOSE COMES AROUND A LOOKIN

          CUZ' WHEN THE COOKIE CALLS ME

          LIFE'S ROAD             (C)J.BIRCH 1997.

         

 

          The sun comes up in the morning

          The moon comes out at night

          Ev'ry day we get older

          But the wind still blows the kite

 

          We go to work for the money

          But we just dont justify

          When the things we wanted mostly

          Are the things we can not buy

 

          Woh-oh-oh

          Gunna buy me a chevy

          And drive it till its dry

          Gunna buy me a kite and fly it

          Way over the southern sky

 

          Gunna find me someone

          Gunna love me someone

          Gunna pull this heavy load

          Way down , LIFE'S ROAD

 

          ----------------------------------------

 

          Well life can be real easy

          It can be real cool

          If you're doin' what you want to

          Did you learn that in school

 

          Well you can work for the money

          But you'll find that it wont buy

          All the things you wanted

          Infact it can make you cry

 

          --------(repeat chorus)--------

 

          ---------(Music)---------

 

          When the white line is a runnin'

          And the diesel is a hummin'

          You'll find this cowboy thumbin'

          Way down , LIFE'S ROAD

 

          MUSIC to bridge

 

          Repeat Chorus
