Rockin' Away Lyrics

I was born a singer.
It wasn't something I planned.
All I ever wanted was to be what I am.

I was just thirteen years old.
I heard a record that stopped me cold.
I bought a Sears guitar and I started to jam.
Yeah-eh-eh

Nothin' could be any better.
The music fit me to the letter.
I was feelin' it back in the day.
When we were rockin' away.

Just me in my room with the Beatles.
Wore those old records out with the needle.
Just as Maggie was stuck in my vein.
We were rockin' away.
Rockin' away.

I grew up in the '60's.
'67 was the summer of love.
Those were times when the music had something to say.
Hitched a ride with a rock 'n' roll band.
Made a demo it was more than a feelin'.
We shipped it off and we thought we were well on our way.
Well on our way-ay-ay!

I remember we all got together.
Held our breath as we opened the letter
From the record execs in L.A.
They sent us back on our way.Brad Delp f/ Barry Goudreau - Rockin' Away - http://motolyrics.com/brad-delp-f-barry-goudreau/rockin-away-lyrics.html

While the suits found it hard to define us
Nobody wanted to sign us.
It was clear there were dues left to pay.
But we kept rockin' away.

Rockin' away

Yeah

Ow!

(guitar solo)

30 years since we wrote those songs.
Now when we play 'em, people sing along.
I bless the fans who stuck with us all of the way.
What can I say-ay-ay?

Nothing could be any better.
It was more than a feeling whenever
we were kickin' it back in the day.
When we were rockin' away.

No one could feel any better.
The music fits me to the letter.
And it's not really different today.
We keep rockin' away.
Rockin' away
We're still rockin' away.
We were rockin' awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
