James Taylor

"Rock and Roll Me Over"
(Written and performed by James Taylor, ca. 1975)

I spent so many years
In a vale of quiet tears
There was a hole inside my life
But then you filled it

There were so many late night calls
Lights going out at the end of the hall
You came all over my heart
And then you killed it

Just last night they gave you breakfast
And then they told me you were gone
Heading for those country roads
And a new place in the sun

So, just rock and roll me over, baby
Rock and roll me over
Rock and roll me over, baby
Rock and roll me over


James Taylor

"Jelly Belly Baby Maybe"
(one reviewer called James Taylor's 1975 album track "rock and roll about drugs and sex.")

Jelly Belly Baby Maybe
Comin' with a truck of gravy
Wrap me honey, be my baby
Your sweet saddle gonna save me

I'm a man with a plan, baby
But something's in the way
I've got an ache, but I've got a bag
Narcotics callin' me, say hey

Who's the muse?
I gotta choose
Which one to fuse
Don't wanna lose

Jelly Belly Baby Maybe
Comin' with a truck of gravy
Wrap me honey, be my baby
Your sweet saddle gonna save me

From the bathroom stalls
to these hospital walls,
I'm finally making my peace
I made the scene,
now I'm comin' clean
So I can ride you free-flowin' beast

Jelly Belly Baby Maybe
Comin' with a truck of gravy
Wrap me honey, be my baby
Your sweet saddle gonna save me

Who's the muse?
I gotta choose
Which one to fuse
Don't wanna lose

Jelly Belly Baby Maybe
Comin' with a truck of gravy
Wrap me honey, be my baby
Your sweet booty's gonna save me
