Lyrics Steamroller Blues (Live 1988) - James Taylor

Well you know, after all these years of rolling around
And I′d say after all these many, many miles
You might think that a
Fine upstanding good-looking young man
Such as myself
Might someday face up to reality, yeah

Hmm, how about no no no
Because somewhere deep, deep
Sound inside of me, AB
Somewhere close to the bone

There's it, weak small voice
The wishbone baby
That comes in the night
And it says on to me
It says Jame-ooh all over you
Roll on down, don′t rush

'Cause I'm a steamroller for you baby
Like I′m all bound to roll
Bound to roll, darling
To roll all over you
I′d like to inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues

Well, well, well, I′m a cement mixer baby
A churning urn of burning funk
A churning urn of burning funk
Urn of burning funk
Burning hot, yeah
Well, I'm a d-d-d-d-demolition derby baby, you know
Hefty hunk of steaming junk
Well, yeah

Now, I′m a neutron bomb for you baby
So I'm guaranteed to blow your mind (guaranteed, guaranteed)
Oh and I′m a napalm bomb for you baby
So I'm guaranteed baby (guaranteed, guaranteed)

If I can't have your love to take it home
And keep it warm tonight
Won′t be nothing left of (us)
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, now baby

It just don′t look like I might someday lose
My steamroller, no
My steamroller blues
Oooh

Steamroller baby
Steamroller now
Steamroller baby
Steamroller now

Steamroller baby
Steamroller now
Steamroller baby
Steamroller now

Oooh

Steamroller baby
Steamroller

All of the blues are telling me
Don't play steamroller, no (don′t sing that song, don't sing that song)
All in the roll keep telling me
Never play steamroll, never, no (don′t sing that song)
Never, no (don't sing that song)

As a matter before the spent sabatic
I played it all night long
All night long
