Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Ben Peters

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

I try to find some way to ease my mind
But no matter no matter what I do
I feel a part of you still in my heart
And I can't get over you

Just when I think I can win
There's that old feeling back again
Guess I'll be this way until my life is through
You set me free but you left your chains on me
And I can't get over you

Just when I think I can win whoa
I get that old feeling back again
Guess I'll be this way until my life is through
Oh yeah oh you set me free but you
Left them old chains hangin' on me
And I can't get over you

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
