Berry Rides Again Lyrics


Well thinkin' of my school days I remember Maybeline
Used to dance with her all night she was little sweet sixteen
Her brother used to chase me, he thought I did but I never could
I used to call him Little Queenie, his name was Johnnie B. GoodI used to hold her till I was older then I got bolder
Her brother used to scold her I left there in the mornin'
Went back to Memphis, Tennessee
You know her brother never found me and that's all right with meI went to New York City to find what could be found
Just for kicks down sixty-six, stopped in L.A. Town
Yes I went to California just to see what I could see
Well nobody knew just where I was and that's alright with meYou know I met a girl named Carol and her girlfriend sweet Nadine
Played the Rock 'n' Roll music, used to kiss me in between
Roll over Beethoven that happened to be favorite song
But we never did much rollin', I didn't stay there longI used to hold her and try to mold her
Somebody told her, Nadine and I were bolder
I left there in the mornin' went back to Memphis, Tennessee
You know I never saw her face again and that's alright with meI used to hold her and try to mold her
Somebody told her, Nadine and I were bolder
I left there in the mornin' went back to Memphis, Tennessee

You know I never saw her face again and that's alright with me

Steppenwolf is a rock band which formed in Los Angeles, California, United States in 1967. The band originally consisted of John Kay (vocals, guitar), Michael Monarch (guitar), Rushton Moreve (bass), Goldie McJohn (keyboards) and Jerry Edmonton (drums). The band is best known for their hit singles "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride". They were named after the novel Der Steppenwolf by German author Hermann Hesse.

Frontman John Kay's mother escaped with him at age 4 from Soviet occupied East Germany, an event recounted in the song "Renegade" on the album Steppenwolf Seven. His family resettled in Hannover, West Germany, before moving to Canada in 1958. Kay is partially blind, hence the use of dark glasses

In 1968, Nick St. Nicholas replaced Moreve as bass player.

Steppenwolf had its origins in the Toronto blues band Sparrow, which was formed in 1964 and played coffeehouses in Yorkville. By 1967 they had settled in San Francisco.

Steppenwolf rocketed to fame after their third single, "Born to Be Wild" was used in the movie Easy Rider, as well as "The Pusher". The former song may have coined the term "heavy metal". This was followed by several more hits, including "Magic Carpet Ride" from Steppenwolf the Second, and "Rock Me" from At Your Birthday Party. Many fans consider their double album Steppenwolf Live [an extended single album in the UK] the best of Steppenwolf's releases. Monster and For Ladies Only were the band's most political albums, and are still fondly remembered by fans as two of the best rock & roll snapshots of the attitudes of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The band broke up in 1971, and Kay pursued a solo career. Steppenwolf reformed in 1974 with the album Slow Flux, and disbanded in 1976. Afterwards, several versions of the band toured North America until Kay reformed the official version of the group in 1980.

John Kay released a solo album in 2001.
