Raincheck

It's not high finance

It's called heart and soul

If it's rock and roll

Got to go, go, go, go, go

Gon' keep moving on up

To the higher ground

Gon' keep on moving on up

I got to stand my ground

Gon' keep on moving on up

I wanna stick around

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Call me Raincheck

In the afternoon

Call me Raincheck

Need a shot of rhythm and blues

Call me Raincheck

On a golden, autumn day

Call me Raincheck

I won't fade away

I won't fade away

I don't fade away

I don't fade away

Unless I want to

Can't take my love away

Ah, 'cause it's here to stay

If it fades away

Come back another day

Gon' keep on moving on up

To the higher ground

Gon' keep on moving on up

I wanna stick around

Gon' keep on moving on up

Oh, gonna stand my ground

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Won't let the bastards grind me down

My name is Raincheck

In the afternoon

My name is Raincheck

Need a shot of rhythm and blues

My name is Raincheck

On a golden, autumn day

My name is Raincheck

And I don't fade away

I don't fade away

I don't fade away

I don't fade away

Unless I want to

Move it up, move it up

Move it up, move it up

Move it up, move it up

Move it up, move it up, move it up

Move it up, move it up

Move it up, move it up

Grind me down

Grind me down

Grind me down

My name is Raincheck

In the afternoon

My name is Raincheck

Need a shot of rhythm and blues

My name is Raincheck

On a golden, autumn day

My name is Raincheck

And I don't fade away

I don't fade away

I don't fade away

I don't fade away

Unless I want to

Put on your dancing shoes

Dance away your blues

When I'm feeling like this

I got nothing to lose

Wan' keep on moving on up

To the higher ground

Wan' keep on moving on up

And I'll stick around

Wan' keep on moving on up

Got to stand my ground

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Won't let the bastards grind me down

Oh, won't let the bastards grind me down

My name is Raincheck

In the afternoon

My name is Raincheck

Need a shot of rhythm and blues

My name is Raincheck

On a golden, autumn day

My name is Raincheck

And I don't fade away

I don't fade away

I don't fade away

I don't fade away

Unless I choose

I choose, I choose, I choose

No, I don't fade away

I don't fade away

I don't fade away

Unless I choose

I choose, I choose

I choose, I choose, I choose

I choose, I choose, I choose

I choose, I choose, I choose

I choose, I choose, I choose

No, I won't fade away

I won't fade away

I don't fade away

Unless I want to
