Still Reelin'

Dan Seals

I remember where I was the first time I saw Elvis

In our living room on our black and white tv

He sang Blue Suede shoes and when the song was over

I knew things would never be the same for me

*

I grew up in a house where the doors were always open

Where a stranger is just someone I did not know

With Dreams of far off places and old guitars

Fell asleep listening to the all night radio

*

Now the rooms in this old house are all empty

And sometimes I wonder just how far I've come

I know some things must end, I don't know where I fit in

Still reelin' from those rock and roll days

*

Granddad died and left me his old chevy

Forty eight hundred pounds of Detroit steel

Sometimes at night I wish that I still had it

So it could drive me back to the way I used to feel

*

Now the buildings down on main street are all empty

And sometimes I wonder just how far we've come

I know some things must end, though I try hard to fit in

Still reelin' from those rock and roll days

*

Though I come back to this place when I feel empty

And I play those old songs I love to hear

I know some things must end and I should find where I fit in

Still reelin' from those rock and roll days

*

Sha na na you know I love you

Sha na na I always will

Sha na na I'm thinking of you

Sha na na you know the way I feel

*

Sha na na you know I love you

Sha na na I always will

Sha na na I'm thinking of you

Sha na na you know the way I feel
