- Raincheck Lyrics / with translationsIt's not high finance
It's called heart and sould
An' if it's rock and roll
I've got to go-go-go-go
Bye-bye-bye-bye
Keep movin' on up, to that higher ground
Movin' on up, I got to stand my ground
Movin' on up, I've got to stick around
Well, let the bastards (grind me down)
Well, let the bastards (grind me down)
Well, let the bastards (grind me down)
My name is raincheck (call me raincheck)
In the afternoon
My name is raincheck
Need a shot-a rhythm an' blues
My name is raincheck (call me raincheck)
On a rainy long day
My name is raincheck
'Cause I don't fade away
I don't fade away
I don't fade away
I don't fade away, unless I choose
Can't take my love away
Because it's here ta stay
Well, an if it fades away
Come back another day?
Then I'm gonna keep, movin' on up
To that higher ground
Movin' on up, I've got to stand my ground
Movin' on up, I've got to stick around
Well, let the bastards (grind me down)
Grind me down
Grind me down
My name is raincheck (call me raincheck)
In the afternoon
My name is raincheck-a
