Rockin' as the Night Rolls On

Written & Sung: J. Stewart; Backup Vocal: L. Buckingham

Friday night is breaking
And I'm working 'til a quarter to five
Gonna give the world fair warning
We’re going to celebrate being alive
Out on the misty morning
When the last brave star is gone
You can't go wrong with a rock'n'roll song
Rockin' as the night rolls on

Hot rods out on the highway
Caravan gone mad
Annie on the seat beside me
It'll be the best night we ever had
And on to the misty morning
When the straights all rise at dawn
You can't go wrong with a rock'n'roll song
Rockin' as the night rolls on

Rockin' as the night rolls on
Rockin' as the night rolls on
You can't go wrong with a rock'n'roll song
Rockin' as the night rolls on

You can't go wrong with a rock'n'roll song
Rockin' as the night rolls on

Annie, can you drown a heartache?
This boy's going to try
Five days workin' for the weekend
For thrills that you just can't buy
Then it's on to the misty morning
Oh Annie, when we're drained and gone
You can't go wrong with a rock'n'roll song
Rockin' as the night rolls on

Rockin' as the night rolls on
Rockin' as the night rolls on
You can't go wrong with a rock'n'roll song
Rockin' as the night rolls on

Rockin' as the night rolls on
Rockin' as the night rolls on
You can't go wrong with a rock'n'roll song
Rockin' as the night rolls on

Rockin' as the night rolls on
Rockin' as the night rolls on
You can't go wrong with a rock'n'roll song
Rockin' as the night rolls on

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

What a catchy song! I didn't realize Lindsey was on this until I gave it a good listen, and I'm fairly positive that's him harmonizing during the chorus. It really is a great song - like with American Way, I wonder why he didn't release it sooner?

VICTORIA speculates:

Actually, during John's Q and A sessions on The Penguin, I asked him about this song. According to John, that ISN'T Lindsey singing on the song. (Personally, I think the old man is just mistaken. There is no doubt in my mind that the voice belongs to Lindsey. But John disagrees.) Just thought I'd bring that to your attention.
