Strictly R&R - Atlanta Rhythm Section

Sometimes I get to missing

When we were strictly rock and roll

We didn’t know no better than to play all night

We were subject to lose control

And play too loud

And run off the crowd

We didn’t have much of a repertoire

Just a few licks that we could steal

We didn’t know but a couple of chords

But we played 'em both with feel

And it felt unreal

Yes, it felt unreal

Nothing fancy

Strictly R and R

Strictly rock (Strictly rock)

Strictly roll (Strictly roll)

Whoa, solid gold

Simple music (Simple music)

Straight from the heart

Strictly unrefined, genuine R and R

Whoa, show 'em, son

We’ve been through a lot of changes

And we’ve learned a lot of things

The guitar players learned how to play

And the singers have learned to sing

State of the art

Got an album on the charts

State of the art

Harmony in four parts, ooh

Now that we’ve hit the big time

Sometimes a good feel is hard to find

And I can’t help but thinkin'

We might have left a little something behind

Have we gone too far

From strictly R and R?

Have we lost the soul

Of strictly rock and roll?

Strictly rock (Strictly rock)

Strictly roll (Strictly roll)

Whoa, solid gold

Simple music (Simple music)

Straight from the heart

Strictly unrefined, genuine R and R, yeah, yeah

Strictly rock (Strictly rock)

Strictly roll (Strictly roll)

Whoa, solid gold

Simple music (Simple music)

Straight from the heart

Strictly unrefined, genuine R and R

Let me talk to you
