Steamroller Blues Lyrics
Well, I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, I'm a steamroller now, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues
Well, I'm a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
Yes, I'm a cement mixer for you, baby
A churning urn of burning funk
Well, I'm a demolition derby (yeah)
A hefty hunk of steaming junk
Now, I'm a napalm bomb, baby
Just guaranteed to blow your mind
Yeah, I'm a napalm bomb for you, baby
Oh, guaranteed, just guaranteed to blow your mind
And if I can't have your love for my own (now)
Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind
It seems how lately, baby
Got a bad case steamroller blues
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, I'm a steamroller now, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues
A churning urn of burning funk
Yes, I'm a cement mixer for you, baby
A churning urn of burning funk
Well, I'm a demolition derby (yeah)
A hefty hunk of steaming junk
Just guaranteed to blow your mind
Yeah, I'm a napalm bomb for you, baby
Oh, guaranteed, just guaranteed to blow your mind
And if I can't have your love for my own (now)
Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind
It seems how lately, baby
Got a bad case steamroller blues

anyone got the guitar tab for this song?
I love the live in L.A. version on James Taylor's greatest hits. James Taylor is really awesome.
I know what this one's about go me-well at least why it was written. Jammy T went to some place where they sung blues and they always referd to an object when they were talking about themselves. James adopted this idea to fit in. Classic song.
@uncleegbert I've always liked this song from the 1st time I heard it. James, however, is a different story. Carly Simon's 'You're So Vain' is about him. They were living together & he dumped her. I have no respect foe this kind of man.

I've always liked this song from the 1st time I heard it. I have over 20,000 music files. Most of them classic rock & blues rock. James, however, is a different story. Carly Simon's 'You're So Vain' is about him. They were living together & he dumped her. I have no respect for this kind of man.
