There's a downtown corner people downtown know
And a back beat rhythm on the radio
And the girl who listens to a young man's song
On the block I live on in the place I'm from

Well, the young man sitting on the dock of the bay
He took a long-term trip on a first class plane
Now the whole world listens to that one man's song
On the block I live on in the place I'm from

Tell me, does it move you?
Does it soothe you?
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock & roll?
Does it move you?
Does it soothe you?
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock & roll?

Well, the man in black sits on a screened in porch
Making birthday wishes, 71 almost
You can hear him singing, "Chariot swing low"
On the block I live on in the place i know

Tell me, does it move you?
Does it soothe you?
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock & roll?
Does it move you?
Does it soothe you?
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock & roll?

Na na na na na na, I've been there before
Na na na na na na, I've been there before
Na na na na na na, I've been there before
Na na na na na na, I've been there before

When you can't get through it you can listen to it
With a na na na na
Well I've been there before

When you can't get through it you can listen to it
With a na na na na
Well I've been there before
