Lyrics
Tommy got off at the Texaco Came busting in to Norma's Cafe Said come on man, we gotta go, yeah You know how those party girls hate to wait Filled up his daddy's trunk with ice and beer and Yeah, he was always stealing the old man's car Radio never came in too clear So I'd bang out one on my piece of junk guitar Yeah, we ruled from the blacktop To the levee where the party never stopped Yeah there was power in the night The spirit was alive when we would sing Ah, sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na When we were kings When we were kings Sitting around the fire one night Tommy called my name I turned around, he said, "hey what do you think?" Had his arm around the prettiest girl I'd ever seen He kissed her hard and took another drink I said you must be an angel putting up with this guy She laughed and said play me some Rolling Stone I couldn't let that chance go by Yeah I, I sang "You Can't Always Get What you Want" Yeah, we ruled from the blacktop To the levee where the party never stopped Yeah there was power in the night The spirit was alive when we would sing Ah, sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na When we were kings When we were kings Yeah, that was the fall of '69 I guess Uncle Sam was hedging his bet Tommy's number came up, he said "Hey, I'll be fine" "I'll teach 'em a lesson they'll never forget" Angel and I went to wave goodbye I guess we always thought we'd see him again You know, I took her out after that a couple of times, but We always just wound up talking 'bout him Yeah, we ruled from the blacktop To the levee where the party never stopped Yeah there was power in the night The spirit was alive when we would sing Ah, sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na When we were kings When we were kings Yeah, sha na na na na na na na When we were kings (Sha na na na na na na na) Hey, hey, hey (Sha na na na na na na na) When we were kings (Sha na na na na na na na) When we were kings
