  • Well I've been lookin' real hard and I'm tryin' to find a job
    But it just keeps gettin' tougher every day
    But I got to do my part 'cause I know in my heart
    I got to please my sweet baby, yeah

    Well, I ain't superstitious, and I don't get suspicious
    But my woman is a friend of mine
    And I know that it's true that all the things that I do
    Will come back to me in my sweet time

    So keep on rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby

    I went from Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma
    Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.
    Northern California where the girls are warm
    So I could be with my sweet baby, yeah

    Keep on a rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby, baby, baby, baby, keep on rock'n

    Rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n, rock'n me baby

    Don't get suspicious, now don't be suspicious
    Babe, you know you are a friend of mine
    And you know that it's true that all the things that I do
    Are gonna come back to you in your sweet time

    I went from Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma
    Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.
    Northern California where the girls are warm
    So I could hear my sweet baby say

    Keep on a rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me, rock'n me, rock'n, baby, baby, baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby
    Keep on a rock'n me baby Writer/s: Steve Miller

  • Seventh Mist from 7th HeavenI long figured this song was part of the same album that contains “Big Ol’ Jet Airliner,” because they sound so similar.
  • Stags from Rhode IslandI can't understand why he wasn't sued by Free's publisher. He sb paying some royalties to them on that great riff he admits to "lifting". If he is it was kept privae
  • Randy from LouisianaNever did like this song. I always felt it was a blatant rip off of "All Right Now" from the first time I heard it, and not nearly as good of a song. I agree with one of the other commenters, Camille from Toronto.....the "oldies" you hear played are usually the top 40 stuff from back in the day, that I didn't like then, and definitely don't like now. So many other better songs were buried on albums and never got much air play.
  • Richard from UsaSomeone must have bought the drummer a new china for his birthday!
  • Alan from Forest Acres, ScCamille, most radio stations in big cities take listener surveys to determine what their loyal listeners want to listen to and what they don't want to listen to. The station I work for takes a new music survey about once every year. If a majority of the people mark the Steve Miller Band as something they WANT to listen to, the station will try to make that happen. If a majority of the people say they are burned out on the Steve Miller Band, the station will do its best NOT to play the Steve Miller Band very often, but they will still play them because they are a major part of the evolution of rock'n'roll. At least that's how it works where I work. I'm burned out on just about everything I play, but I've been playing pretty much the same songs over and over for 43 years now!
  • Camille from Toronto, OhFor some reason, songs by the Steve Miller Band are some of the most overplayed oldies on the radio. The songs are okay, but I get tired of their constant airplay. And when you hear them, you know there are a gazillion other oldies out there that are not getting their time on the airwaves. Try taking an hour or two trip somewhere and see if you don't hear this tune or one of SMB's other hits: Big Old Jet Airliner, Fly Like An Eagle, Take the Money and Run. Then take another trip the next week and see if you don't hear another one of them. Not sure why the DJs feel like this is what we always want to be listening to.
  • Sydney from Dallas, TxSexual references? Pfft. the c'RAP' of today is much worse.
  • Berto from Northport, Flganddalf is right. this song is beast, and c"RAP" is far worse than rock. tupac was the only rapper who actually wrote/sung about life. everyone else talks about screwin, shootin, stealin, and other nonsensical b.s.
  • Gandalf from Glassboro, NjAmusing. Sexual referneces. Look at c"RAP" today. Worse than rock ever was.
  • Mary from Phoenix, AzI loved this song when I was a kid...made me feel special cause I lived in Phoenix.
  • Dave from Cardiff, WalesIn 1977, this became Steve Miller's first hit in the UK after several near misses earlier in the decade, however by this point in his career he had already had numerous hit singles in the US - he would score several UK hits more in the 1980s
  • Ray from Stockton, NjI love this song. I asked to do this song for my school talent show. The school had no problem with me doing this song so i'm gonna guess this song has no sexual references,
  • Joe from Los Angeles, CaThis song was never pulled off radio stations for any sexual references. What have you gullible people been smoking? It was specifically written to open the Knebworth Festival for Pink Floyd - Steve knew they'd come on when it got dark and he wanted to stir the crowd up with his last number before the Floyd came on. Check out my interviews with Steve on OFF The RECORD for more.
  • Annie from New York, Ny"get ones rocks off" is having an orgasm, and to rock someone, is to have sexual intercourse with someone..it makes sense in the context of the song. "keep on a rock'n me baby"
  • Joey from Gallipolis, Okname some sexual references!?!?!?!?
  • Pete from Nowra, Australiasexual references????????? get outta here
  • Aj from Cleveland, GaThis song was taken off the air of many radio stations because of its "sexual references"
  • Melanie from Reader, WvWrangler uses this song in one of their commercials where the people are camping and they're sitting around the campfire singing this song.
