Momma Don't Stop

Well, I never thought I'd see you back
On my side of the railroad tracks
Just blown in from Tokyo
Hangin' out at the rock n' roll show
You're lookin' for some kid to sign
Catchin' jive off the grapevine
"Billboard's" runnin' a picture next week
"Hits" applauds you on your winnin' streak
Never mind you're sleepin' alone
There's always someone else on the phone

So momma don't stop your rock n' roll
You might just find your heart has gone cold

Momma don't stop your rock n' roll
All day long

I'm real impressed with the things that you've done
Look how far this lady has come
Used to be so quiet and sweet
Now your name's all over the street
Used to charge it by the hour
Now you own an apartment tower
It's a shame about your former friends
Everyone now is a means to an end
Never mind you're livin' alone
It's hard to get a scratch on the lovin' jones

So momma don't stop your rock n' roll
You might just find your little lost soul
Momma don't stop your rock n' roll
All night long

It's so hard to be a woman today
To get what you deserve
It's not easy when you work this way
You have to keep a distant reserve

So momma don't stop your rock n' roll
You might just find your heart has gone cold
So momma don't stop your rock n' roll
All night long
