Mini-critique N°150

Paroles :

Keep your eyes on the road

Your hand upon the wheel

Keep your eyes on the road

Your hand upon the wheel

Yeah, we're going to the Roadhouse

Gonna have a real-

Good time

Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse

They got some bungalows

Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse

They got some bungalows

And that's 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

Do it, Robbie, do it

You gotta roll, roll, roll

You gotta thrill my soul, alright

Roll, roll, roll, roll, a-thrill my soul

You gotta beep a gunk a chucha

Honk konk konk kadanta

Each ya puna ney cha

Bap pa lula ni chao

Pao pati cha

Ni saong kong

Yeah, ride

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 mornin'

And I got myself a beer

Well, I woke up this mornin'

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

Critique :

Selon Internet, la chanson est un extrait de leur album Morrison Hotel de 1970. Bien qu’elle ait été publiée comme face B de “You Make Me Real”, qui a atteint la 50e place du Billboard Hot 100 aux États-Unis, “Roadhouse Blues” a réussi à se classer seule dans le Cash Box Top 100, à la 76e place. La chanson fut un incontournable des concerts des Doors et a été reprise par de nombreux artistes.
