Lyrics
There's colors on the street Red, white and blue People shufflin' their feet People sleepin' in their shoes But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try to forget it, any way I can. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand Under an old street light Near a garbage can Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit She hates her life, and what she's done to it There's one more kid that will never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler, Machine gun hand We got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.

Great rocking version of one of Neil Young's best rock songs. Wonderful guitars and driving drums. Your voice fits well with this, Bob. You should do more Neil Young covers. I am a huge fan.

Yee Har! Whoo Hoo - I prefer this version to the original. You can play guitar a damn sight better than Mr Young for a start. :) Love the prog sounding keys solo too. - Great Cover Bob - Still Rockin over here :)

Sounds really, really good Bob! Love the more upbeat tempo and the killer guitar solos! Your version has so much more energy and attitude. I am a big fan of the original but your new revised version take is up a few notches! Really nice job on this classic song!

Blown away by this energy! Congrats to you and Lary for this fine rock tune in classic tradition. Absolute pro mix. Your vocals shine, Bobo, and I really feel the magic here as in the times when I listened to Asia and all these great bands...
