Robert Earl Keen
The Man Behind The Drums
CD: The Rose Hotel
We left New York City, with nothin but a song,
she ll be coming round the mountain when she comes.
We wound up in Woodstock, at an old time jamboree,
Fss
came to see the man behind the drums.||
(Chorus)
Levon digs the doghouse, playing in The Band,
when he locks in to that backbeat it ain t hard to understand.
Get your body movin , celebrate your soul,
Levon digs the doghouse, that s sho-nuff rock and roll.
Son of a plain dirt farmer, from southeast Arkansas,
he was born in a bare ramblin shoe.
Up and down the highway, and all around the world,
Fss
laying down the rhythm and the blues.
(Chorus)
We were hangin from the rafters, singing every song,
that big barn band was hot as it could be.
Up there in the spotlight, the man behind the drums,
was takin all the load off for you and me.
(Chorus)
Yea, Levon digs the doghouse, that s sho-nuff rock and roll.
