Lyrics
Saw Janis Joplin at Madam Tussauds
With her big ass glasses and her rock and roll clothes
Wish I could've seen her singin' mercedez benz
Why do all good things have to come to an end
It sure'd be great to have her back again
Call me a throwback call me old school
That classic rock n roll was pretty damn cool
I love the way that it makes me feel
Low down and dirty and raw and real
Honky Tonk Woman on the radio
My shotgun girl is moving sexy and slow
Oh she's making it hard to drive
I'm barely keeping it between the lines
Its a perfect song for this moonlit midnight ride
Call me a throwback call me old school
That classic rock n roll was pretty damn cool
I love the way that it makes me feel
Low down and dirty and raw and real
So break out that vinyl, put that needle in the groove
Call me a throwback call me old school
That classic rock n roll was pretty damn cool
I love the way that it makes me feel
Low down and dirty, raw and real
Low down and dirty, raw and real
