about

Built around a classic rock riff that would be right at home in the Deep Purple school of rock, the band's closing anthem was never envisioned as a "studio" piece, with the middle sections largely being loose and improvisational. Recording the piece two years after the final show with no audience presented a special challenge - "how would we do it in a packed club with everyone singing along?" The result is certainly a "live" feeling to the jam section, but the arrangement probably was never performed quite this way - other than this one time when the tape was rolling!

lyrics

"Rock Time in Your Town"
Andrew McKnight, ©1985, Catalooch Music BMI

All across the country in your town U.S.A.,
people gather round and round, to rock the night away
from Jersey City to the Golden Bay, there's people rockin’ in every way,
so c'mon raise your hands

Chorus
Rock time in your town, the boys have hit the stage,
rock time in your town, rockin's all the rage,
Rock time in your town, everybody's runnin wild,
we're coming down to rock your town tonight

From Baltimore to the Detroit shore, there's a wave of new sensation,
Saturday night let's have a light, the rock to roll the nation,
hey over there, let down your hair, join the people rockin' everywhere,
c'mon hear the guitar

Chorus
solos

Rock time in your town

Chorus
