All over the night
The beat goes on
Can you hear
Can you feel
Through the years
Music keeps running
The beat keeps running on
On and on

I'll always be feeling it
I won't slow down
Just as long as those wheels go round

I'll be riding that fast train to Memphis
On that sweet R & B
Till the green grass way down home grows up over me

Somewhere in this world
A child is born
He can hear
He can feel just like me
He'll keep it running
He'll keep it running on
On and on

And he'll always be feeling it
And he won't slow down
Just as long as the wheels go round

He'll be riding that fast train to Memphis
On that sweet R & B
When the green grass way down home grows up over me

Steven Lawrence Winwood is most famous for his solo work, including two number one hits Higher Love and Roll with It, and for being the member of two supergroups, Traffic and Blind Faith, along with helping found the Spencer Davis Group at fourteen years old.

Speaking of which, Mozart had nothing on Winwood as a keyboard

As a boy in middle school, little Stevie Winwood played the Hammond synth for Blues gods and Rock & Roll founders like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when they toured in Britain. We’d list more, but it’s exhausting to link all of those names.
