The Man Behind The Drums |
| We left New York City, with nuthin' but a song |
| She’ll be coming' 'round the mountain when she comes |
| We wound up in Woodstock, at an old time jamboree |
| Came to see the man behind the drums |
| Levon digs the doghouse, playing in The Band |
| When he locks in to that backbeat it ain’t hard to understand |
| Get your body movin', celebrate your soul |
| Levon digs the doghouse, that’s sho-nuff rock and roll |
| Son of a plain dirt farmer, from southeast Arkansas |
| He was born in a bare ramblin' shoe |
| Up and down the highway, and all around the world |
| Laying down the rhythm and the blues |
| Levon digs the doghouse, playing in The Band |
| When he locks in to that backbeat it ain’t hard to understand |
| Get your body movin', celebrate your soul |
| Levon digs the doghouse, that’s sho-nuff rock and roll |
| We were hangin' from the rafters, singing every song |
| That big barn band was hot as it could be |
| Up there in the spotlight, the man behind the drums |
| Was takin' all the load off for you and me |
| Levon digs the doghouse, playing in The Band |
| When he locks in to that backbeat it ain’t hard to understand |
| Get your body movin', celebrate your soul |
| Levon digs the doghouse, that’s sho-nuff rock and roll |
| Yea, Levon digs the doghouse, that’s sho-nuff rock and roll |
