I woke up in a cold sweat staring up at the wall There was Ritchie Blackmore baby standing ten feet tall He said hey man stick on ‘Made in Japan’ and crank up my guitar So I dropped the needle and the tension grew And out screamed ‘Highway Star’…… koneechewahhhh!

By the end of the day I’d learned how to play And I knew that we’d go far We started rockin’ and rollin’ and feeling the soul On piano and funky guitar

Hey hey hey I’m a Man of Yesterday You know I’ve seen it and I’ve done it And you’re never gonna take take it away I’m a Man of Yesterday…..hey hey

Chorus

We kicked off writing big songs inspired by the beach Telling tales of great adventures and all that Ritchie could teach So we a pushed a little harder and we started to groove As our dreams dictated the sound We made a reservation for rockin’ the nation Bein’ the hottest band in this town

At the end of the day we’d learned how to play On the road to Shangri-la We kept on rockin’ and rollin’ and feeling the soul On piano and funky guitar

Hey hey hey I’m a Man of Yesterday You know I’ve seen it and I’ve done it And you’re never gonna take take it away I’m a Man of Yesterday…..hey hey

So we sat on board the airplane on our trip to the stars Ritchie sat in 7B and said, “You boys are going to be big on Mars”

At the end of the day we love what we play And we sure have come so far We keep on rockin’ and rollin’ and feeling the soul On piano and funky guitar

Hey hey hey I’m a Man of Yesterday You know I’ve seen it and I’ve done it And you’re never gonna take take it away I’m a Man of Yesterday…..hey hey
