I was three hours out of Memphis Headin' south toward Aberdeen When I slipped into this roadhouse I met a cute little Cajun queen Who said she'd drove all night from Mobile Straight up Highway 61 She said tomorrow I'm goin' to Graceland And tonight I'm gonna have some fun I think you might be the one... She said hey hey hey We don't need no love songs here tonight That ain't what we need boy Hey hey hey Yeah give me the backbeat everything'll be all right... Now she led me out on the dance floor Just like Moses in high heels Said honey I'm 'bout to show you Just how good a bad girl feels And she knew all the words to all the songs Oh man shoulda heard her sing And she said honey you get some sideburns You'd look a little bit like the King And that just makes me crazy... She said hey hey hey We don't need no love songs here tonight Come on over here and get some Hey hey hey Give me the backbeat everything'll be all right... Ah everything'll be all right now... Well the lights came up, her hair came down And she moved in close and tight Said cowboy I'm gonna make your wildest dreams Make 'em all come true tonight 'Cause you can ride me hard put me up wet You can be my trail boss But I like my lovin' like I like my music I like it with a little sauce So let's get greasy baby... Hey hey hey (hey hey) We don't need no love songs here tonight Tell the band to play one more now Hey hey hey (hey hey) Give me the backbeat everything'll be all right... (Give me the backbeat and everything'll be all right...) She said hey hey hey (hey hey) We don't need no love songs here tonight Yeah come on over here and get some Hey hey hey (hey hey) Yeah give me the backbeat everything'll be all right... (Give me the backbeat and everything'll be all right...) Ah, everything'll be all right now... Hey hey hey We don't need no love songs here tonight (We don't need no love songs here) 'Cause tomorrow I'm goin' Graceland Hey hey hey (hey hey) Yeah give me the backbeat everything'll be all right...
