Rock On Baby
Embrace Freedom: Brenda Lee's 'Rock On Baby' Unveils the Power of Independence
Lyrics
Rock on baby rock on you're not draggin' no ball and chain
Expressing encouragement to continue freely without burdens or commitments.
I ain't playin' no waitin' game with a rollin stone like you now
Not willing to engage in a waiting game with someone who is constantly on the move.
Rock on baby rock on I'm not gonna beg ya to stay
Encouraging independence and not pleading for the person to stay.
Momma didn't raise me that way do what ya wanna do
Reflecting upbringing that values freedom and allowing the person to make their choices.
If a little rain should ever fall on your shoulder
Using rain as a metaphor for challenges, expressing readiness to support in difficult times.
While you're travellin' somewhere boy to someplace without me
Acknowledging the person's journey to places without the speaker, suggesting detachment.
And if your rainbow's fade and ya start to think it over
