Taking the stage at the Tenderbox
The crowd was cool, the band was hot
The drums were tight and the bass was smooth
Every good-timer was feelin' the groove
Jimmy stepped up playin' clean and mean
Spittin' out sparks and blowin' off steam
Kicked his amp into overdrive
Whole damn place startin' comin' alive
Fingers flyin', feel the thrill
There was cryin', wailin', screamin' steel
Axes grinding, thrash & throwdown
Cuttin' heads at the six-string showdown
Could've been the liquor, could've been the beer
"Move over Rover," Stevie's puts it in gear
Twelve foot stacks cranked to the max
Loco locomotive runnin' off the tracks
Fingers flyin', feel the thrill
There was cryin', wailin', screamin' steel
Axes grinding, thrash & throwdown
Cuttin' heads at the six-string showdown
Yeah-yeah
Smoke from the stage was out of control
Licks ablaze, amps started the blow
People scattered as the windows shattered
Nothin' else mattered but the rock 'n' roll
