Roadhouse Blues Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen
From Los Angeles, California
The Doors

Oh, keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel
Oh, keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel
Go to the roadhouse
Gonna have a real, a good-time

Yeah, the back of the roadhouse
They've got some bungalows
Out the back of the roadhouse
They've got some bungalows

Dance for the people
Who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long
Yeah, hey, c'mon

You gotta roll, roll, roll
Gotta thrill my soul, alright
Roll, roll, roll, roll
Gotta thrill my soul

You gotta-

Alright

Ashen lady
Ashen lady
Give up your vows
Give up your vows
Save our city
Save our city
Right now

Well, I woke up this morning
And I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning
And I got myself a beer

The future's uncertain and the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

Alright, alright, alright
Hey, listen, listen, listen, man
Listen, man
I don't know how many of you people believe in astrology
Yeah, that's right, that's right, lady
Alright, I am a Sagittarius
The most philosophical of all the signs
But anyway, I don't believe in it
I think it's a bunch of bullshit, myself
But I'll tell you this, man, I'll tell you this
I don't know what's gonna happen, man
But I wanna have my kids
Before the whole shit house goes up in flames, alright
Alright

What is the Meaning of Roadhouse Blues?

Immerse yourself in the raw, unfiltered energy of this classic tune, a testament to freedom and hedonism. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an evening at a roadhouse - a refuge for free souls seeking solace in music, dance, and intoxication. It's about living in the moment, embracing uncertainties ("The future's uncertain and the end is always near"), and indulging in life's simple pleasures ("Well, I woke up this morning/And I got myself a beer"). The singer rejects societal norms and conventions (astrology), expressing his desire to live fully before everything collapses. This song is an anthem for those who choose to steer their own course, keeping their eyes on the road and hands upon the wheel of life.
