Church, Eric - That's Damn Rock & Roll Lyrics

Ain’t about the money that made when a record gets sold it’s about doing it for nothing cause it lives in your soul

Eric Church is 1,000 times better than Luke Bryan!!!!!!😝👍😝😀👍✋

I'm right

Just saying

straight gangster

Is this song supposed to be a shot at Buckcherry? Every time I listen to it, I can't help but wonder that

I can listen to this song all day and not get bored

i think this is joanna cotten and not lizzy hale

found nirvana waste of shame*

Love this song Eric Church keep doing what you do best singing and playing music you Rock

I'm bout to go get a shot ready will u come back there and talk to me or outside fr cus I need to speak to u about this. Also i need a shot lol

🙌✨ 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

I Love you

We blast this song at our bonfire down home get downs 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃😊😊😊😊😊😊

Lizzy Hale really compliments him...though in this song, I am not sure who's complimenting who because while Eric Church is amazing, she's a rocker and is killing it. Perfect combination for this song!

I'm surprised nobody has noticed the similarities between this, "Highway to Hell" (riff) and "Don't Bring Me Down" (drum intro and melody in chorus)! It's like Kid Rock sampled the latter 2 songs!

Kylie Pollert shut up

This song SAYS it, the damn truth

It aint a needle in a vein!

Everytime I hear this song down goes the Windows on my car and I turn up the music.

This is a good song to rock roll on sober fri night. Juust need high volume

Damn this version sucks when compared to the live 'CMT Awards' show version featuring the one & only Lzzy F'n Hale. She rocks the house down! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiIJprCQavc

It ain't what everyone thinks it is it's a lot harder that that and the establishment can get fucked is basically what the song says

Eric Church is outlaw as hell! Doesn't even claim it but if it wasn't for Church or Stapleton I'd never found jinks or simpson. Keep this outlaw shit coming!! Real music done right!!

Oyyyy veyyyy!

OMG! I just found this , and it’s Amazing , heeee is amazing!!!!

Song reminds me of Bernie Sanders. Bern Baby Bern! He told the establishment to go to hell a long time ago.

Yea it is dann old rock and roll. Hmm he tells it like it is. Bye✋

he is a great musician.

i know tupelo is about elvis
does anyone know if and/or& who the "shepard bought a Gibson" line is about?

mileki09 it's a reference to previously in the song when he says it's a guy with the balls who told the establishment to go to hell. Basically the Sheppard did his own thing against the common practices of the whole community and it was so unapologetically good that he led the flock or the group that he had control of astray or to what he began doing and it became a thing. Basically a large fuck you to the large number of people who are too afraid to go their own way.

Check him out👌🏻 https://soundcloud.com/user-721390379/first-degree-adios-finito-diss-prod-lujier

love this song. eric church is one of the best artists i know

Church is the new Waylon!

i only listen for Lzzy no other reason as i am British and we don't listen to country as it is not the done thing so if it wasn't for Lzzy people in the UK wouldn't listen to this song and have as much following as it does.

why do people keep talking about Lzzy Hale? Who ever the girl is in this song doesn't sound anything even remotely like her.

Steven Cryar there's a live version where she sings with him, just look up the song with lzzy Hale

I went to his concert 2 days ago in Tulsa he put on a good concert

THAT'S DAMN ROCK AND ROLL. Living from your soul and living the way man was meant to live: FREE. GREAT SONG. Everybody needs to hear these lyrics and wake up the world.

This song reminds me of Donald Trump... "It ain't a middle finger on a T-shirt that the establishment is trying to sell, it's a guy with the balls who told the establishment to go to hell"

If Eric Church read that he would come bitch slap you himself. Eric Church is a good person and probably a good Christian and understands morals. I am also pretty sure he would say if you support someone of those morals you are probably no better than that person.
You sound like a fool praising a man whom is a terrible person, terrible person, terrible business man and even worse liar...... I am sorry for your inability to see disaster.

Build that fucking wall!

Fuck yeah. Anyone who thinks hes establishment is an absolute jackass. He is an outsider. Getting the job done. Who diss arms N Korea. Hmm President Trump. No other has dreamed of that task yet alone doing it. Wall is going to put a hault on dope and human trafficking. Please President. Find out who all was behind a rifle that horrible night in vegas. Thoes fans need to be avenged and the liars hung in the street.

I'd like to preface my opinion with a little background bit:Now,i happen to be...42 years old(at the back-end of December,at least),so i grew-up during "The Regan-Bush years(01-10)" and "The Clinton-Bush jr.years(10-20)", and happen to know at least the public persona of our Current President-elect fairly well...Now onto my opinion: While the man CERTAINLY has his faults(a fairly Short-Temper, Narcissistic tendecies,His Mildly bullying Personality),he happens to also have his good qualities( honestly Compassionate tendecies,Accute Buisness Acumen,a very good eye for Spotting Talent). You need to also remember that this IS his first 4 years in office,so he should be given a little slack for not knowing how to work well with others(as the CEO of a Company,he's always been used to getting his way all the time) yet....

@Americas Trainer/Angler he wants to take over Venezuela and overthrow their real elected president because they have the second largest oil reserve in the world. That's establishment.

Eric debería considerar la idea de hacer una versión estudio con LZZY HALE. La chica del fondo no canta mal, sin embargo la voz de Lzzy es mil veces mejor y más para esta canción.

Love this

where is women sluts I am from from Maine love them big dick

who is shannan

I guess I can't comment on his singing and types of songs he sings, which by the way, I'm always amazed by how well he knows me, I relate to many of his songs, and add an innocent comment about his sex appeal without them 86ing my comment, telling me to make a comment all you innocents can read. Do they ever listen to his words? OMG! I Still say where he can put his shoes.

Are you God to be judgen the lryics? Come on now his songs are what alot of people have gone through or going through that could help them. But these lyrics here are about living the rocket and roll life style they think they have to live up to. But that's damn rock and roll. Js if ya don't like it don't listen to it. Who shall cast the first Stine owmmmmm shame on you. I LOVE HIS MUSIC I LIVED A LIFE IN YOUNGER DAYS ALOT LIKE HIS LYRICS AND IT ALSO HELPS ME KNOW I DINT MISS THAT LIFE. LOVE ERIC CHURCH LOVE THE LYRICS AND LOVE MY JESUS.

I fuckin struggled thru that and still hardly have any clue wtf ur talkin abou

you are great lov your concept lived this my ontirer life lol

+Adam Goodwin dam can't beat me lol for now can play

+Adam Goodwin drinking having fun

Adam Goodwin

He couldn't sing a bad song even if he tried

Amen bro. This man is PURE TALENT and pure soul. A REAL rock star.

Did you watch the live version of this song at the CMT's? He did shit. Hell, the recorded version of this he didn't do well. They had to almost lower Lzzy Hale out of the song so she sounds like a background vocalist because she over powers the shit out of him.

DesignedByBold still a great songwriter so I can’t complain

Not true. He has Joanna Cotton sing with him every night at his concerts who is an all around amazing vocalist. Eric has an amazing voice live, recorded, hell he could sing under water.

. just got done seeing his double down tour performance and i call bullshit he sounds the exact same live

Eric Church- That's Damn Rock & Roll

He should do an EP with this song rerecorded with Lizzy Hale, it would be a nice treat to have a studio track of that.

I started hearing his new album on spotitfy and I was like wait.. he's got a new album out? And finally I get around to listening to it haha.

You've got more wrong but I doubt you can figure that out either. What a waste of time!

Your lyrics are so wrong. Everyone else has already told you it's not 2 below but you are also wrong on the preacher by the wreck!! "It's a preacher burning records telling folks they ought to pray 'cause the shepherd bought a Gibson and lead the flock astray". Please don't post lyrics when you don't know what they are!!!

dude its not that serious. you know the song sing it and shut up

Chris Mullins Exactly.......shut the fuck up and listen to the song.....

+XlxChiefxlX Amen! to that!!!

ik the lyrics.

it just aint rock --- sorry i like it but aint rock

Technically it is rock. Rock is a wide variety of music.

Who ever said you had to sing the genre of music youre singing about? No this isn't rock n roll by modern rock n roll standards but it's got everything a true rock n roll song needs.

this is real rock not that screaming crap where you can't even understand

@XlxChiefxIX
It's a hip shaking devil on the stage in Tupelo.  Not 2 below.   As in Tupelo, MS the home of Elvis.

Thank you!

Feel like I should know this but what's the Shepard bought a Gibson and led the flock astray referring to?

I believe he is talking about rock music.  Buying a Gibson to play rock music. Which at one time was seen only as the devils music.

I believe that award goes to you. Using comments like that are in fact a sign of low intelligence. Now get off the computer and go to bed. You need to be at the welfare office bright and early to get signed up.

best song on the whole album

Meh, Talladega comes close

@steve f yeah and dark side

+theallamericanredneck 1 don't forget about the cover that's a very close second

Lizzy Hale brought me here even though she's not on the CD

@Marit Clearman yeah cause she's fucken Rock-n- Roll and amazing he's umm crap she shoukd have a verison just her and halestorm !!!

@Ben Baeb Me too.

+Sandra Ruble he's the best artist i've ever heard until you get back into the 90's

This song is my favorite. Best song I've heard in a long time and its very true

Not feeling this song

Goin to see him Oct. 11th at the Consol Energy Center.

Know where I can grt this song?

this is like my favorite song!

+logan l you can't mix the 2?

It's not a bad song. But it's not country

Logan L it's damn rock and roll

I dig this song big time, i love country and cant get enough rock. When they mix like that so damned well im eccsatic.

Yeah boy

Actually, her name is lzzy hale. Best female rock singer since joan jett!

crystal Williams HELL YEAH

I'll have to say I am a lzzy take fan love her voice. But this isn't her. The one that recorded it on the album is just backup singer Joanna Cotton. Lzzy even says it in a interview.

ace watts You could tell by the accent.

Wrong!!!! It’s not lzzy

It's a hip shaking devil on the stage in Tupelo! Not 2 below. The reference is to Elvis and his hometown of Tupelo, Mississippi.

Really? LOL!

Hell yeah my home state

I raped the replay button and am not sorry i did it so take me to jail cause ima still feel it in my soul 

some corrections to your lyrics in the second verse

It’s a hip shaking devil on the stage in Tupelo,
It’s doing what ya want instead of doin’ what your told,
It’s a preacher burning records, tellin’ folks they outta pray,
'Cause the shepherd bought a Gibson, and led the flock astray,

What a sale out. This sucks, man.

one of the best songs I've heard in a long time!!!!!!!!

Pretty sure on the album version Joanna Cotten is the female back up vocalist (she does a lot of vocals for EC).  Lzzy rocked it last night though!

He should have got Lzzy to begin with.

That is not Lzzy singing backup on the album version. It is Joanna Cotten; Lzzy only sang backup at the CMT Awards.

If anyone says Lzzy can't sing, you have no idea what music is. This song is now one of my favorite.

KentuckyDirtBoys this is clearly not Lzzy in this recording. She has one of the most distinguishable voices in the world and this is not her

"distinguishable" yes ;)

+Daniel Giesel bull shit lzzy hale can sing! She's got the best dam sexiest voice on her.
Her voice would even make the devil blush. This also isn't lzzy hale

Alyssa H Agreed on that front hun. Watch the live version at the awards, she's awesome.

I'll have to say I am a lzzy take fan love her voice. But this isn't her. The one that recorded it on the album is just backup singer Joanna Cotton. Lzzy even says it in a interview.

It's Lzzy Hale. Not Lucy. Not Suzie. Lzzy Hale. Best set of pipes of her generation! Learn to love her because that woman has serious staying power!

I know right... ive been a fan of halestorm eversince my friend told me about it

I'll have to say I am a lzzy take fan love her voice. But this isn't her. The one that recorded it on the album is just backup singer Joanna Cotton. Lzzy even says it in a interview.

Lucy hail! Lead singer for hailstorm is the background singer!!

Lzzy Hale, actually :P

no the girl in the background for this cd version is Joanna Cotton. Lzzy Hale was only part of CMT awards

Exactly

@redneckdb they should've kept lzzy hale on the cd too for this song, she was way better than this version

@***** is it that time of the month or something. if you would learn to read and comprehend the conversation before this comment you would see that I was saying it wasnt lzzy hale in the background on the cd it was joanna. not once did i say anything bad about lzzy hale considering im a huge halestorm fan actually since the band originated right down the road from me here in Pennsylvania.

I Just Heard this Song tonight on the CMT Awards and Man it "ROCKS: and the women with the Voice really Brings out the Sound in the Song.

Lzzy Hale from the band halestorm you should listen to the band Kick ass music :)

I double that!

TheCountryboy2448 OMG! Seriously you don't know who lzzy hale is, halestorm? Get your head out of your arse and listen to her band!

Just saw them on CMT Awards and that chick Susie Hale was freakin AWESOME! Sounds like Beth Hart!

Hell yeah!! 

That was Lzzy Hale, not Susie Hale.  She is the lead singer of the Grammy winning band, Halestorm.

That would be Lizzie Hale of the rock band Halestorm in background

The girl in the background is the chick from halestorm

hip shakin' devil on a stage in Tupelo

Who's singing background?

Joanna Cotten

Lzzy Hale

Check out the preformance on the CMT's with Lzzy Hale, she stole this song!!

Actually never heard of him until this song played my favorite rock station good song.

great song eric I liked it

He actually sings "It's a hip shaking devil on the stage in Tupelo" referring to Elvis Presley and his hometown of Tupelo, MS.

Eric Church is completely amazing, from the years ive loved his music i think about it and NEVER before have i ever seen another artist with amazing songs on EVERY album released

youre one artist who is very truthful in his music thank you for that and thanks to all the outsiders like me who have made erics music a success rock on eric

I heard this come on a rock station and flipped. . This is good stuff man

Jon Deitz When a full on county artist is on a rock station

great lyrics, love your music Eric. Tons of energy in your music

Eric church you are awesome me and my dad love your new track

Good lyrics.
