Yeah, the Rockets don't bother [F#] knocking.
I said the Rockets don't bother [Bm] coming down.
[B] It's got me goose bumps to the floors.
It's so hot I got nothing to [E] lose.
We've seen it all before.
We've lost [Bm] friends and foes.
[F#] We've got a room on the floor.
Come on baby, [B] shake up the [Bm] room.
[B] Yeah, the Rockets don't bother knocking.
Yeah, the Rockets don't [F#] bother knocking.

I said the Rockets don't bother [B] coming down.

Walking up the street, you can hear the sound of the band.
I'm coming to the [E] letterbox.
It's been a while, but yeah.
It's not [B] brand new.
[F#] We've got a room on the floor.
Come on baby, [B] shake up the room.
Well, the house is rocking on fire.
The house is rocking on fire.
[F#] I said the Rockets don't bother [B] coming down.
[F#] I said the Rockets don't bother [B] coming down.
[F#] Yeah, the Rockets don't bother [B] coming down.
[N]
Yes!
Stevie Ray Vaughan, that does it.
Let's go sit over here and picket for a minute.
Way to go, man.
Way to go.
You can sit there.
During rehearsal today, if you need this, I don't know if you need it,
because pretty much your hands don't sweat, so I guess you [C#] alright.
Because you cook, man.
My guitar player, Peter, was checking you out in the rehearsal,
[N] and I heard them talking.
A lot of people compare you to Hendrix.
Well, there's only one Jimi Hendrix.
I just do the best I can with what I can learn from him.
Yeah.
Now, who were your other influences?
Albert King, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, my big brother, Jimmy Vaughn.
Yeah.
Jimmy was here.
Muddy Waters, yeah.
Everybody I've ever heard.
Really?
Yeah.
You got a tattoo coming out of your shirt there, man.
What's that?
I got that when I was about 17.
Really?
What is it?
It's a peacock.
Oh, really?
But I found out years later that it was supposed to be an arm tattoo.
[F#] Oh.
Yeah, it looks funny.
That must have hurt.
I'm sure the ladies would like to see that.
Why don't you show me?
[G] [N]
Yes!
Yes.
Yes.
No big deal.
So, now, was that you playing on Let's Dance with David Bowie?
[F#] Really?
So you were with Bowie [C#m] at one time?
Just for the record.
Just for that record.
Just for the album.
[N] He had seen us at Montreux, Switzerland.
We had been booked for the Montreux Jazz Festival.
And saw the show, and liked what he heard, and asked me to play on the record.
Yeah.
And it was great.
We were in the middle of doing Texas Flood.
And he called up and asked me to do it.
I said, sure, why not?
I had no idea what to expect.
When you're at home kicking back, what do you listen to?
[C#m] I listen to KKDA, [F#] really.
[E] KKDA, now that's rock and roll?
It's a soul station.
Here?
In Dallas, [N] Texas.
Oh, because I never heard of KK.
We got something close to that.
KDAY, I think, but it's all rap music.
[E] You like rap music?
I like all kinds of [N] music.
Really?
There's room for everything.
That gives room for me, too.
Yeah, check that out.
[F#] So you and your brother ever get together and jam?
Every chance.
[C#m] Every chance.
We're looking forward to doing an album here.
As soon as [F#] we can both [A] find the time [E] and schedule.
Because so far, every time we get off the road, it's time to make a new album for both bands.
Right.
And then there's a new tour again.
That's loud.
Steer right by.
We're going to be back with Charlie Parker.
Yes.
