Analysis of Still Rolling After All These Years



I'm feeling
All Right Now;
I'm Stone Cold Sober,
though for A Long Time Gone
in a Purple Haze.

Yesterday, For Once In My Life,
I was thinking Everclear;
Wond'ring Aloud
(how you feel today), and considering,
could I really take any more
Time In A Bottle?

Even - One More Time?

Perhaps after Next Time, I'm
Flying High like Lucy in the Sky,
I will Finally Realize how I should best
Take To The Sky.

I'll chose a Jefferson Airplane
before I consider boarding a
Led Zeppelin ever again,
or Maybe Not Tonight.

Maybe you can
Never Again, Get Back,
until you Take The Highway
and get On The Right Track.

Puff, The Magic Dragon says Hello, Goodbye,
which reminds me ironically that,
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE.

PS...
I Was Only Kidding
Until, The Last Line.

Let the Jailhouse Rock,
but drink responsibly
-
I Love You :‪)‪
