REO Speedwagon

Songwriter: Gary Richrath

Producer: Bill Szymczyk Allan Blazek

Well, we have one foot
Stuck in the graves we're diggin'
And we didn't give a damn about the feelin's people had for us
We just cared for doing an unusual course with hell and fire
Walkin' on a tightrope
I know we couldn't get any higher

Being loose in life and faster livin' ain't wrong for us
We said goodbye to the dusty plains of Illinois
Across the road to wherever we felt the urge we should be
Couldn't find a place to breathe
We let the rhythm and lives set us free

But all night, momma
Well, they say that we're the crazy people
'Cause when the band play, we sing along and we smile too much
They've got all the people watchin' us
And they're talking behind their hands
But when the band plays the song so strong
I know that some people just wanna get up and dance
Well, I know that some people just wanna get up and dance

All night, momma
Well, they say that we're the crazy people
'Cause when the band play, we sing along and we smile too much
They've got all the people watchin' us
And they're talking behind their hands
But when the band plays the song so strong
I know that some people just wanna get up and dance

I know that some people just wanna get up and dance
I know that some people just wanna get up and dance
I know that some people just wanna get up and dance
