Lyrics

Come set on the porch, cool off in the shade
Tell me what your think of my new rockin’ chair
I been workin’ on it night an’ day –
Ever since you walked away from here
I’m so glad to see ya, I’m in shock –
Don’t say a word – Baby, just rock
The past is gone an’ the future’s yet to come
All we have is now –
Look in my eyes, see where I’m comin’ from
I know we can work it out, somehow
Got plenty time to talk, an’ take stock –
Don’t say a word – Baby, just rock
Rock away, rock away – all your tears an’ regrets
Rock away, rock away – forgive an’ forget
The neighbours are talkin’ – peepin’ through the blinds
Let ‘em look, I couldn’t care less –
Whatever they’re thinkin’ or runnin’ through their minds
Ain’t none of my business
Tongues will be waggin’ up an’ down the block –
Don’t say a word – Baby just rock
Listen, blues is a woman walkin’ out the door
Believin’ she’ll never return –
The blues is a teacher an’ life is a school
All we can do is live an’ learn
I knew it was your when I heard your knock –
Don’t say a word – Baby just rock
Rock away, rock away – Baby, just rock
Rock away, rock away – Baby, just rock

Pinyin

Come set on the porch, cool off in the shade
Tell me what your think of my new rockin' chair
I been workin' on it night an' day
Ever since you walked away from here
I' m so glad to see ya, I' m in shock
Don' t say a word Baby, just rock
The past is gone an' the future' s yet to come
All we have is now
Look in my eyes, see where I' m comin' from
I know we can work it out, somehow
Got plenty time to talk, an' take stock
Don' t say a word Baby, just rock
Rock away, rock away all your tears an' regrets
Rock away, rock away forgive an' forget
The neighbours are talkin' peepin' through the blinds
Let ' em look, I couldn' t care less
Whatever they' re thinkin' or runnin' through their minds
Ain' t none of my business
Tongues will be waggin' up an' down the block
Don' t say a word Baby just rock
Listen, blues is a woman walkin' out the door
Believin' she' ll never return
The blues is a teacher an' life is a school
All we can do is live an' learn
I knew it was your when I heard your knock
Don' t say a word Baby just rock
Rock away, rock away Baby, just rock
Rock away, rock away Baby, just rock
