What’s a Little Rock ‘n’ Roll Between Friends

I went to see my baby on the other side of town
it took me nearly forty minutes to thumb a pickup down
He dropped me off, I knocked on her door
She opened up and shouted, "What are you here for?!"
"Well, you got a car, I got some money,
let's put 'em both together and and we'll lose it honey
what's a little rock 'n' roll between friends?"

We did a little drinkin' up at Maggie's Grill
A buddy of mine asked her if she would dance
she said, "I surely will!!"
He grabbed her hand but then he grabbed her ass
I knocked over the table shoutin', "Not so fast!!"
He looked at my fist, I looked at his face
We had a little laugh and then we trashed the place
Hey what's a little rock 'n' roll between friends.

I woke up Sunday morning under the County seat
The sheriff poked me with a stick and asked me if I wanted to eat
When I opened my eyes and I saw his smile
I figured that I might be sleepin' there for a while
Well the judge and jury gave me half a year
but the boys in lock-up say I've nothin' to fear
I mean now what's a little rock 'n' roll between friends
oh tell me what's a little rock 'n' roll between friends
What's a little rock 'n' roll between friends
