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!

Nice to see/hear the great Bill Payne of Little Feat fame on piano.

[@sherrysmirl4827]

I have been fortunate to see numerous JT concerts. He never disappoints, so humble & quick wit!!

[@susanb7090]

Wow! Never seen this smoking version in a small club. What a joy! And the band is on fire!

[@liellen1997]

I’ve been to 4 of your concerts & they were amazing! This song is a masterpiece!! It never gets old! 🎵🎆✌️

[@lornestein7248]

See how tight Leland and Carlos were? It's still amazing to see. RIP Mr. Vega.

[@amerocker]

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

[@richardgirouard6275]

Love the "Heartbreaker" comp break! And Bill Payne on keys! And the Legendary Leland!

[@PhilRounds]

Nice! The band sounds great and Carlos was amazing!

[@gilbertodavila8781]

Man, this version is so good as well as Colonial Theater version 1988...wow!!!!!

[@cravo104]

Puxa Vida. É bom ver um ídolo seu ainda em plena forma. Sua voz é praticamente a mesma dos anos 70
Congratulaciones James!!!

[@susancoffey9632]

Rest in peace Carlos Vega... one of the best.

[@paulrevelli]

😞 I miss him too. Didn't get nearly enough of him while he was with us. And he brought something to the J.T. band that no one ever did (or will).

[@JosephRisenhoover]

James it’s amazing how you can tell the time by what the crowd is wearing and the hair cuts😅❤❤❤

[@stevefahnestalk8500]
