LYRICS
Steamroller Blues by James Taylor
Well, I’m a steamroller, baby
I’m bound to roll all over you
Yes, I’m a steamroller now, baby
I’m bound to roll all over you
I’m gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock ‘n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues
Well, I’m a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
Yes, I’m a cement mixer for you, baby
A churning urn of burning funk
Well, I’m a d-d-demolition derby (yeah)
A hefty hunk of steaming junk
Now, I’m a love bomb, baby
Just guaranteed to blow your mind
Yeah, I’m a love bomb for you, baby
Oh, guaranteed, just guaranteed to blow your mind
And if I can’t have your love for my own (now)
Sweet child, won’t be nothing left behind
It seems how lately, baby
Well I’m a steamroller for you, baby, child

🌟 I’m 70ish y.o. and ironically appreciate and 👍 James Taylor’s music, and others from that generation MUCH MORE NOW than back when they began! The same goes for Neil Young, Zac Brown Band, Led Zeppelin, Prince (w/ the exception of ‘Purple Rain’ that I always 💖’d), and too many others to mention! Oh well, as the sayings go - with age comes wisdom, and it’s never too late!
-
I’ve been to 4 of your concerts & they were amazing! This song is a masterpiece!! It never gets old! 🎵🎆✌️
-
I have been fortunate to see numerous JT concerts. He never disappoints, so humble & quick wit!!
-
Wow! Never seen this smoking version in a small club. What a joy! And the band is on fire!
-
Nice to see/hear the great Bill Payne of Little Feat fame on piano.
-
Love the "Heartbreaker" comp break! And Bill Payne on keys! And the Legendary Leland!
-
Nice! The band sounds great and Carlos was amazing!
-
See how tight Leland and Carlos were? It's still amazing to see. RIP Mr. Vega.
-
Another song I would love to have Sir James

James Taylor incorporating a Led Zeppelin tune into "Steamroller Blues" or any of his songs is a rare experience.
