Back to the Grind (Gimme That Rock ‘n’ Roll)

[Verse 1 – Spoken Blues Flow] Well, I dragged my feet, Right out the door. Vacation’s gone, I want just one day more. But the boss man’s smilin’, Sayin’ “punch that time!” (Ohhh yeah) back to the grind. [Pre-Chorus] But I know the cure, For this 9-to-5 toll… (Here it comes, here it comes!) [Chorus – HOOK] 🎵 Back to the grind — gimme that rock ‘n’ roll! 🎵 (Back to the grind!) 🎵 Back to the grind — it’s the music saves my soul! 🎵 (One more time!) I got the blues on my back, But the rhythm makes me whole… 🎵 Back to the grind — gimme that rock ‘n’ roll! 🎵 [Verse 2 – Bluesy Storytelling] Now the coffee’s bitter, And the hours crawl slow. Dreamin’ ‘bout freedom, Where I wanna go. But I hear that riff, And I start to unwind, (Yeah, yeah, yeah) leave the workday behind. [Pre-Chorus] There’s a fire that burns, Deep down in my soul… (You know what it is!) [Chorus – HOOK] 🎵 Back to the grind — gimme that rock ‘n’ roll! 🎵 (Back to the grind!) 🎵 Back to the grind — it’s the music saves my soul! 🎵 (One more time!) I got the blues on my back, But the rhythm makes me whole… 🎵 Back to the grind — gimme that rock ‘n’ roll! 🎵 [Bridge – Spoken Growl Over Guitar Riff] You can take my weekend, You can take my time… But you’ll never stop this beat, From rattlin’ down my spine! [Break – Call & Response] Gimme that rock! (Rock!) Gimme that roll! (Roll!) Gimme that beat! (Beat!) It’s good for the soul! (Soul, soul, soul!) [Final Chorus – Shouted & Big] 🎵 Back to the grind — gimme that rock ‘n’ roll! 🎵 (Back to the grind!) 🎵 Back to the grind — it’s the music saves my soul! 🎵 (One more time!) I got the blues on my back, But the rhythm makes me whole… 🎵 Back to the grind — gimme that rock ‘n’ roll! 🎵 [Outro – Spoken Fade] Back to the grind… But with that sweet, sweet rock ‘n’ roll… I’m doin’ just fine.
