Ready To Rock

it was a long way to paradise
and you were moving too slow
anyway i couldn't travel with you honey
i had to go play a show
there was a hole in the ozone
there was a hole in my sock
an old man in the front row screamed
are you ready to rock

I said yeah yeah yeah i'm ready to rock

the next day i was stumbling
from one door to another
i knocked on door number three
and there was my mother
in her left hand she held a drum stick
in her right hand she held a clock
she said boy 
when you gonna stop fooling around
and get ready to rock

I said yeah yeah yeah i'm ready to rock

i'm not sure where i'm going
i'm not sure where i been
and please don't ask me what i'd do
if i had to do it over again
still haven't learned how to tell time
but i'm listening to that old tick tock
and i believe that any minute now
i'll be ready to rock

I said yeah yeah yeah i'm ready to rock
