Lynyrd Skynyrd - Whiskey Rock A Roller Lyrics






I'm headed down a highway got a suitcase by my side
Blue skies hangin' over my head I got 500 miles to ride
I'm goin' down to Memphis town to play a latenight show
I hope the people are ready there 'cause the boys are all ready to go

[Chorus]
Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller
That's what I am
Women, whiskey and miles of travellin'
Is all I understand

I was born a travellin' man and my feets do burn the ground
I don't care for fancy music if your shoes can't shuffle around
I got a 100 women or more and there's no place I call home
The only time I'm satisfied is when I'm on the road

[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder where will we go

Lord don't take my whiskey, rock and roll
Take me down to Memphis town, busdriver get me there
I got me a queenie she got longbrown curly hair
She likes to drink Old Grandad and her shoes do shuffle around
And everytime I see that gal
Lord she wants to take me down

[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder where will we go
Lord don't take my whiskey, rock and roll

    The live version is way better

  46. S.... T....

    Another one of those "What could have been" bands. What would they have done if the plane crash hadn't happened? What they gave us in a short time was amazing.

    S.... T....

    I,think it was ICONIC!!

    S.... T....

    The crash happened for a reason but I wonder how Ronnie would feel about today’s music, styles , etc and what he would say about free bird being a classic song

  47. D.... S....

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Lynyrd Skynyrd....the singer is as SEXY AF!! #RedheadDeadhead

    D.... S....

    Dorthy Slotwinski red head ???

    It's all about whiskey baby! And of course rock & roll. Whiskey, beer and rock & roll all go hand in hand!!

  50. b.... ....

    Big time under-rated Skynard song.

  57. O.... Q....

    Always loved lynyrd skynyrd as I used to sing a few of their songs when I played in a rock band many years ago. I never get tired or their music as it is great stuff and makes me still want to drink bourbon whiskey and chase good looking southern women around

  58. O.... Q....

    Love these guys been listening to them since I was 15. I used to sing in a band so I totally understand the message in this song. Lord don't you take my whiskey and rock and roll!*

  59. L.... ....

    I hope Ronnie kicks everyone's ass in the next lifetime if there is one. They're a bunch of bitches fighting so much.

  60. B.... J....

    Looking at those pitures of happier days its hard to see them bitter and petty like they are now . All good things......

  69. M.... 1....

    I AM A GREAT GREAT GRANDCHILD OF A FAMILY OF HARDCORE SKYNYRD FANS INCLUDING ME (BUTTERBEAN)

  70. J.... G....

    Shame on you for not having a photo of Ed King in this version.

    J.... G....

    Especially since he was one of the co writers of this song.

    J.... G....

    You can hear Ed King in this song cant you

  71. B.... S....

    great song

  72. H.... D....

    i am 8 and i love it

  73. T.... C....

    Awesome music!
    Why aren't there any quadroons or blacks in Southern Rock?
    Is there still much racism or racial seperatism in Dixie?

    T.... C....

    Toby Cavanaugh sounds like you are the racist

    T.... C....

    Umm, are you really this dumb, or just trolling? Judging by your use of the word 'quadroons', I'd expect the latter. Two of the biggest southern rock bands off all time, Allman Brothers and Doobie Brothers, both had black members.

  74. D.... M....

    Piano & Guitars accompany one another so finnnne in" Skynyrd's " tunes  !

  75. D.... A....

    Did you know? Ed King & Steve Gaines were born on the same day.

    D.... A....

    Ed King was So under rated, and helped Create this Sound in a Mighty way.

  76. B.... P....

    love it

  77. E.... D....

    ""RIGHT-FUCK'N'-ON"-MY-BROTHER!!!!!!! I-LIKE-YA-STYLE!!!!!!! """1ROWDY"""!!!!!!! ~E~!!!!!!!

  78. T.... L....

    Ronnie did often wonder where they would go, and as he got closer to his 30th birthday, which he told those close to him that he would never see, he wrote so much more about "the rot gut" life he was living.. They all were party till you puke and he knew everything would change and that "when it's your time to go"... People asked him who are you, what are you? His answer was this song's title but, he was so much more than that to so many people who still listen to his music even today. He was one of the best singer-songwriters ever and will always be the voice of Lynyrd Skynyrd. RIP Free Birds Forever! RebTL 2016

    T.... L....

    Ronnie is absolutely one of the best song writers ever.. does not get the credit deserved. Rolling stone didn't even have him on their top 100 writers of all time list. Sad... it's because he is from the south.

    T.... L....

    Simple Man is among the top five greatest songs ever recorded, ever. Of any genre.

    T.... L....

    When ya know ya know

    T.... L....

    He also wrote, All I can do is write about it, which speaks to what he knew.

    T.... L....

    Amen brother well spoken

  79. R.... K....

    THE REAL DEAL

  80. L.... J....

    Ed 👑

  81. E.... H....

    "we blew the Stones off the stage" - Leon Wilkeson.Bass player extraordinaire.

    E.... H....

    Thumper

    E.... H....

    AND they sure did ! So did George Thorogood and the Delaware destroyers

    E.... H....

    Something what every American says. But I could agree with you folks. ACDC blew the shit out of the Who once.

    E.... H....

    Heck yeah you did

  82. J.... C....

    I prefer Ronnie, and he could write like no other. We need new Southern Rockers.

    J.... C....

    Miss ya Ronnie

    J.... C....

    That we do. But I don't think it will ever happen

    J.... C....

    RVZ Is singing this song buddy.

    J.... C....

    Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, amongst other not necessarily the same but on the right track

    J.... C....

    What do you mean you prefer Ronnie ?

  83. l.... l....

    this Song is Fucking Epic.

  84. D.... g....

    "Lord don't ya take my...." Rock on ,Gary and Ed

  85. m.... m....

    I had tickets too that fucking concert....

  86. T.... ....

    Song kinda sucks. It doesn't completely suck, but it sucks to some degree.

    T.... ....

    Lay off the crack pipe

    T.... ....

    You kinda suck too.

    T.... ....

    post one of your tunes off any of your albums so we can see how a REAL pro does it...LMAO...

    T.... ....

    Another example of why you should never drink the bong water!!!

  87. e.... v....

    Lynyrd Skynyrd will always be music that our children, children's will be listening mine grandkids already love them.

    e.... v....

    Hell yeah!

    e.... v....

    e.... v....

    e.... v....

    Me and my girlfriend used to make our baby jump around in her belly by playing simple man, any time we got scared about not feeling her move much we’d play that song for her and she’d start jumping around! They can start lovin’ skynyrd before they’re even born!! Cheers!

    e.... v....

    Mine also

  88. B.... W....

    still kick-ass after all these years.....

  89. T.... G....

    johnny "white" trash is probably doing sphincter dilation in jail.  as there's a Lord in Heaven, there's the hoofed one waiting for your ilk, johnny.

    T.... G....
