Rock N' Roll Lyrics

Oh, I can still remember

When I bought my first guitar

Remember walking from the shop

To put it proudly in my car

And my family listened fifty times

To my two song repertoire

I told my mom her only son

Was gonna be a star

Well, I bought all the Beatles records

Sounded just like Paul

I bought all the old Chuck Berrys

78s and all

And I sat by my record player

Playing every note they played

I watched them all on TV

And copied every move they made

Aw, rock and roll, I gave you all

The best years of my life

All the dreamy sunny Sundays

All the moonlit summer nights

I was so busy in the backroom

Writing love songs to you

While you were changing your direction

And you never even knew

That I was always just one step behind you

Well, '66 seemed like the year

I was really going somewhere

I was living in San Francisco

Wearing flowers in my hair

Singing songs of kindness

So the world would understand

The guys and me thought we were more

Than just another band

Aw, rock and roll, I gave you all

The best years of my life

All the crazy, lazy, young days

All the magic moon at nights

I was so busy on the road

Singing love songs to you

While you were changing your direction

And you never even knew

That I was always just one step behind you

Well, '71, I was all alone

When I met Sarah Jan

I was trying to go it solo

With someone elses band

And she came up to me softly

And she took me by the hand

She listened to my problems

And she seemed to understand

And she followed me to London

To a hundred hotel rooms

Through a hundred record companies

Who didn't like my tunes

She followed me back to Tennessee

Where she finally made me see

I'm just a plain old country boy

That's all I'll ever be

Aw, rock and roll, I gave you

All the best years of my life

All the dreamy, sunny Sundays

All the moonlit summer nights

And though I never knew

The magic of making it with you

I'm getting along with my country songs

Doing what I was born to do

But I was always just one step behind you

Aw, rock and roll, I gave you

All the best years of my life

All the dreamy, sunny Sundays...
