Lyrics
Hey old boy, where are you going
Questioning the destination of the person with a guitar.
with that guitar in your hand?
Asking about the purpose of carrying the guitar.
I was having some crazy thoughts here
Having unconventional or wild ideas.
inside my head
Referencing internal contemplation or imagination.
I've got four strings on my back
Referring to having four guitar strings.
With yours we could make it ten
Suggesting combining guitars to enhance music.
A pair of sticks and a shout on the lead
Mentioning drumsticks and vocal lead for band formation.
Then we are a band
Uniting to create a musical group.
We don't even need too much of a crowd
Not requiring a large audience for enjoyment.
Just bang your head and we'll feel alright
Encouraging headbanging for a positive feeling.
Our sound will reach you anywhere
Asserting that their music transcends distance.
Throught good and bad times
Committing to support through all situations.
It will be at your side
Music being a constant companion.
The rockin' spirit, it's still alive
Declaring the enduring presence of rock music's essence.
As long as me and you keep making noise
Stating the continuity of the rock spirit through their noise-making.
Come on, babe
Encouraging someone to participate.
Step up on the stage
Inviting someone to join the performance.
And let the rhythm move your head
Encouraging movement in response to rhythm.
If it's loud, then I tell you:
Asserting that loudness signifies the music's vitality.
It ain't dead
Reiterating the liveliness of the rock spirit when loud.
