Now there ain't no rules or regulationswhen you're playing rock'n'roll |
|
You got your backbeat in the driver's seatyou're rollin' and it's out of control |
|
Now they say that it's a young man's gameand that is who is fanning the flame |
|
But they seem to forgetwho shot the rocket out of the hole |
|
You got your young string slingersburnin' up and down the fretboard all day |
|
You got your metal on the darksidewarnin' of the judgement day. |
|
But there's still a lot of guys on the roadand they're knockin' down a backbeat, |
|
LordWe got thirty long yearsof bringing people rock'n'roll[Chorus] |
|
Rockin' music makes us wholeit doesn't matter if you're young or old |
|
They love to hear on the radioit takes your troubles away |
|
I'll tell you what don't work for methat crazy ideology |
|
That says playin' that rock'n'rollis just a young man's game |
|
Now if you're playin' in a collesiumor in a smoky old club |
|
Long as all the people rockin'there's a whole lotta shakin' going on |
|
When you're singin' in harmonyand you're down on your bended knee |
|
Throw your guitar in the trunkand drive your |
|
Cadillac to the show.(Repeat Chorus)[Bridge](Repeat Chorus) |
|
I'm hear to tell you it drives me insaneto hear that rock'n'roll music'sjust a young man's game |
|
Drivin' in my car |
|
I'm tryin' to relax |
|
But those rock'n'roll critics goin' yak yak yak |
|
I'm here to tell you it drives me insaneto hear that rock'n'roll music'sjust a young man's game |
|
Drivin' in my car |
|
I'm tryin' to relax |
|
Have Mercy! |
|
Those critics talkin' yak yak yak! |
