For A Rocker Lyrics by Jackson Browne

For A Rocker

Open the door, baby turn on the light
Were gonna have a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker

I know its late and youre already down
You aint ready for people around
Im gonna tell you something I found out
Whatever you think your life is about
Whatever life may hold in store
Things will happen that you wont be ready for

Ive got a shirt so unbelievably bright
Im gonna dig it out and wear it tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

Dont have to change, dont have to be sweet
Gonna be too many people to possibly meet
Dont have to feed em, they dont eat
Theyve got their power supplies in the soles of their feet
They exist for one thing, and one thing only
To escape living the lives of the lonely

For a friend of mine, from the neighborhood
Moving down the line, after tonight hell be gone for good

Here comes ricky, danny, and doerge
They got peties number and theyre looking at me
Russell and bobby setting up the drums
Gonna pound on till the landlord comes
Dont want to argue, I dont want to fight
But there will definitely be a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

till the morning comes, till the car arrives
till we kill the drums, till we lose our lives

Hey jenny, tell peggy sue
Were gonna do the only thing you can do
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
Theres a party tonight!
Theres a party tonight!
Theres a party tonight!
Theres a party tonight!
