Verse 1 Well, I woke up this mornin', With the whole world on my back. Folks kept sayin', "Boy, you're never gonna get on track." I just dusted off my blue suede shoes, Put a smile upon my face. 'Cause every time I hit the floor, I jump right back into the race. Pre-Chorus You can holler, You can laugh, You can say I've had my day. But this old heart keeps rockin', And it ain't gonna fade away. Chorus 'Cause I ain't licked yet! No sir, not me! I'm gonna keep on rockin' Like a wild old hickory tree! I ain't through! I've still got plenty to prove! When life keeps throwin' punches, I just find another groove! Hey! Shake it off! Turn it around! I'm still standin' On solid ground! You can't stop A rollin' stone... When it's got A mind of its own! Verse 2 Well, the road gets rough, And the climb gets steep. But dreams don't disappear Just because they're hard to keep. Every bump upon the highway Makes the engine run more sweet. If you wanna make the finish, You just keep movin' your feet. Chorus 'Cause I ain't licked yet! No sir, not me! I'm gonna keep on rockin' Like a wild old hickory tree! I ain't through! I've still got plenty to prove! When life keeps throwin' punches, I just find another groove! Bridge Go on, ring that bell! Raise a little Cain! Every storm rolls over, Then it's sunshine once again! So if you see me stumble, Don't you count me out. I'm just winding up For another shout! Saxophone Solo Final Chorus I ain't licked yet! No sir, not me! Gonna keep this train a-rollin' Right into history! I ain't done! I've only just begun! When the chips are down, That's when I have my fun! Come on! Clap your hands! Stamp your feet! Life can't keep This cat beat! I'm gonna rock... Till the break of day! Outro Well, you can bet against me, But you're wasting your time. 'Cause I was born to keep on rockin'... And that's no crime!
