Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Kenny Lovelace

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

I'm sitting here drinking thinking of you
Wondering where you are and the love we once knew
This old town ain't much for a man all alone
But it's better than nothing when I want to get stoned

Out of my mind
When I leave this old bar I don't know where I'm going
Because of the bottle there's no way of knowing
That I'm out of my mind

It all goes back to the good times we had
The glad times and sad times oh they were both good and bad
But honey if you'll ever need me well I'll be around
Yeah right on that old corner in that same old bar downtown

Out of my mind
When I leave this old bar I don't know where I'm going
Because of the bottle there's no way of knowing
That I'm out of my mind

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.
