Tekst piosenki
Get a load of that guy
With the dew rag on And the cowboy tie
Man that cat is gone
Form Memphis to Nashville
Then way out west
Put that Hollywood party
To the acid test
Got a little bungalow
In the valley somewhere
Took a gig playing bass
With Sonny and Cher
He took it on his chin
And never got it off his chest
He wouldn’t be caught dead wearing that vest
Not rock back Billy
Rock back Billy
He came to make a stew
With that swamp guitar
He kept it lonesome and blue
Yeah, in the trunk of his car
But no one gave him a long shot
Though he never did doubt
What it was not
Or what it was all about
He got all tangled up with liquor and drugs
Trying to make a racket
Like those English mugs
Till he couldn’t get arrested
And he couldn’t see straight
He couldn’t even shine shoes
In that Golden State
Not rock back Billy
Come on rock back Billy
When you see him on the street
Well, he’s no spring chicken
But ask him how he makes ends meet
He’ll tell you, «I'm still pickin'»
Aw, rock it, Billy, rock it Yeah they counted him down
When they dropped that beat
But that red hot sound
They could not defeat
It started coming back from Boston
From East L.A.
Down in Austin, Texas
And up New York way
And as long as there’s a kid
In a room somewhere
With a beat up guitar
And some funny looking hair
Well, it might be Billy’s kid
You don’t know
And all I’ve got to say is Go, cat, go Come on rock back Billy
Come on rock back Billy
Rock back Billy

With the dew rag on And the cowboy tie
Man that cat is gone
Form Memphis to Nashville
Potem daleko na zachód.
Put that Hollywood party
Do testu kwasowego
Mam mały domek.
Gdzieś w dolinie
Grałem na basie.
Z Sonnym i Cher
Wziął go na podbródek.
I nigdy nie zrzucił tego z piersi
Nie dałby się złapać w tej kamizelce.
Not rock back Billy
Rock back Billy
Przyszedł zrobić gulasz.
With that swamp guitar
* He kept it lonesome and blue *
Tak, w bagażniku jego samochodu.
Ale nikt nie dał mu szansy.
Choć nigdy nie wątpił
What it was not
Or what it was all about
Zaplątał się w alkohol i narkotyki.
Trying to make a racket
Jak te angielskie kubki.
Dopóki nie mógł zostać aresztowany.
I nie widział jasno.
Nie mógł nawet czyścić butów.
W tym Złotym stanie
Not rock back Billy
Come on rock back Billy
Kiedy widzisz go na ulicy
Cóż, nie jest wiosennym kurczakiem.
Ale zapytaj go, jak łączy koniec z końcem.
On ci powie, "I'm still pickin'»
Aw, rock it, Billy, rock it Yeah they counted him down
"When they dropped that beat"
Ale ten red hot sound
Nie mogli pokonać
Zaczęło wracać z Bostonu.
Ze Wschodniego L. A.
Down in Austin, Texas
And up New York way
I dopóki jest dziecko
In a room somewhere
/ Align = "left" /
I trochę śmiesznie wyglądających włosów.
To może być dzieciak Billy ' ego.
Nie wiesz.
And all I ' ve got to say is Go, cat, go Come on rock back Billy
Come on rock back Billy
Rock back Billy
