Well I've been lookin' real hard
And I'm tryin' to find a job
But it just keeps gettin' tougher every day
But I got to do my part cause I know in my heart
I got to please my sweet baby, yeah
Well, I ain't superstitious
And I don't get suspicious
But my woman is a friend of mine
And I know that it's true that all the things that I do
Will come back to me in my sweet time
So keep on rock'n me baby
Keep on a rock'n me baby
Keep on a rock'n me baby
Keep on a rock'n me baby
I went from Phoenix, Arizona
All the way to Tacoma, Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.
Northern California where the girls are warm
So I could be with my sweet baby, yeahChorus 2x
Don't get suspicious
Now don't be suspicious
Babe, you know you are a friend of mine
And you know that it's true
That all the things that I do
Are gonna come back to you in your sweet time
Repeat “I went from Phoenix...” to Chorus
"Rock'n Me" was released in 1976 as the second single from the band's ninth studio album "Fly Like an Eagle". It was composed for a pop and rock festival atmosphere in B mixolydian, the lyrics and vocals have been labeled as having an 'every man' quality.
Steve Miller, remarking on the song, "I was going to play just before Pink Floyd... the sun would be going down, it would be really cold, there wouldn't be any lights on the stage, it would be a lousy time ... I went, 'You know, I'm gonna kick those guys in the butt.' So what I did was, I wrote 'Rock'n Me' as a song to play at a festival, to just get it going."
