i remember you back in nineteen fifty six you had all the moves and you knew all the tricks you left all the ladies in a hell of a fix when your voice took wings then you d shake around and oh how you d sing just an old boy from memphis with a big diamond ring a country girl s prayer and a city girl s dream hail the king but it s all right now keep on singing loud it s all right now heaven should be proud the fifties left town on a crowded dance floor the sixties came in with a bang and a roar the world heard a knock it was janis at the door they let her in and when it seemed this whole world was falling apart the house lights would fall and the music would start she d be giving us all a piece of her heart once again but it s all right now keep on singing loud it s all right now heaven should be proud it was october in st louis town when we heard that the free bird had fell to the ground and we all said a prayer before we went down to play and ronnie my buddy above all the rest i miss you the most and i loved you the best and now that you re gone i thank god i was blessed just to know you  but it s all right now keep on singing loud it s all right now heaven should be proud
