David Welch Poet Lyric

Old-School Rocker

So many people,
so many screams,
but there’s not a single six string
on the damn TV.

People they love me,
they tell me so,
but you’ll never hear our single
on the damn radio.

Know I’m not passing
or fading away,
have no illusions
when I come to play.
When this gets a moving,
when we shake the town,
leave you hot and sweaty
lying beat on the ground.

Cause I’m an old-school rocker,
make you shake and smile,
yes, I’m an old-school rocker,
make you scream a while,
babe, I just don’t care
about that hip-hop style,
no, I don’t care about your pop,
woman, I’m just here to rock.

So many solos
wailing out loud,
share the pulse and the passion that
I see in the crowd.

Riffs you can swim in,
hooks in your brain,
give them all to the people every
night on the stage.

Know I’m not stopping this
any time soon,
know I’m not crashing
like a led balloon.
When we get to playing
that great wall of sound,
get you rock and rolling,
’till you sing it out loud.

Cause I’m an old-school rocker,
make you shake and smile,
yes, I’m an old-school rocker,
make you scream a while,
babe I just don’t care
about that hip-hop style,
no, I don’t care about your pop,
woman, I’m just here to rock.

Sunlite Wanter June 17, 2018 at 5:58 PM I knew I was in for a treat if I read this poem! I'm a pre- Old School Rocker, but it's fun anyway. David Welch June 17, 2018 at 7:28 PM Well, I'm sure you could apply the sentiment just as easy to any other genre. Old-school western, old-school motown, old-school symphony...pick your style, they're all good!
