Cry Tough - Nils Lofgren

Already late to the union hall

Tired and dragging my feet on the ground

Doctor Feelgood lives right down my street

I feel run over and he heard me speak

«Doc please I’m getting weak in the knees»

And he said, «Cry tough, son, cry tough»

I told him about my dancing blues

And why I had to fill the band tonight

«Doctor Feelgood, I promised this lady

If I can’t dance, she gonna break my nose»

He said, «Easy now, boy, 'cause I’ve got the antidote»

And he said, «Cry tough, for that girl on the floor

Help her up and watch her beg for more

Cry tough, go down your soul

You just need another shot of rock and roll»

Just need another shot of rock and roll

Take it away

Babe I been cripple since they threw me in school

Until I caught this new kind of spool

Called dancing fever and I have to have it

Crazy Doctor Feelgood encouraged my habit

All his time he would devote to discover the antidote

And he said, «Cry tough on your crutches too

You were born to be a dancing fool»

Cry tough, go down your soul

You just need another shot of rock and roll

Yeah, just need another shot of rock and roll

Look out

I need another shot of rock and roll

Need another shot of rock and roll

Need another shot of rock and roll
