Chuck Berry Lyrics

Chuck Berry is a dead and buried and his songs are in outer space

But if he were here right now I know just what he would say

The sun is shining down, the fruit is juicy and ripe

But it’s too late in this town if it touches the ground

You’ve got to climb up and take a bite

Stop acting so precious

There’s no good time to decide

Stop acting so precious

Go on make a life

My taxi driver ever since I arrived here tells me boy you got to be a man

Tonight I told him that I’ve fallen in love with the lady from the produce stand

He said hijo vultures are circling

You might as well tell her tonight

You can wait if you like but if the money’s not right

You better show up and show them the knife

Stop acting so precious

There’s no good time to decide

Stop acting so precious

Go on make a life

She had a tattooed sleeve that’s easy to read

And an Indian ring in her nose

That she took off and put in your pocket

Then you went and lost it now everybody knows she said that

You’re like an old man

You know how I know that

I can see your will is strong but every will gets broken

You might not believe that you’ll never catch me

But you’ll never do it til you die in your sleep

Chuck Berry is a dead and buried and his songs are in outer space

But if he were here right now

I know just what he would say

The sun is shining down, the fruit is juicy and ripe

But it’s too late in this town if it touches the ground

You’ve got to climb up and take a bite

Stop acting so precious

There’s no good time to decide

Stop acting so precious

Go on make a life

Go on make a life
