Story Behind The Song

Song Description
If anyone wants to do this song live, you have both my blessing and permission, you could substitute your town for Richmond, and names for others. Neil Young said about Rock N Roll, in his song HEY HEY MY MY, (Into the Black) "once you are gone, you can never come back..." Maybe, and then again, maybe the world is ready again for the real feeling of real Rock n Roll. It only lasted about 4 years, 1951-55.

Lyrics
RICHMOND NEEDS SOME ROCK N ROLL
Back to the fifties is where you gotta go
What your heart needs is some
Rock n Roll
I know a girl and her name is Claire
She can take us there.
Hey Claire. Come on and take us there.
Richmond needs some
Rock n Roll
Richmond needs some
Rock n Roll.
Back to the fifties is where you gotta go
What your heart needs is some
Rock n Roll.
I know a guy his name's Twave' (twaw-vay)
He can take us there.
Hey Twave' Come on and take us there.
Richmond needs some
Rock n Roll
Richmond needs some
Rock n roll.
Back to the fifties is where you gotta go.
What your heart needs is some
Rock n Roll
I know a girl, name's CandiRey
She can take us there.
Hey Candi Rey.
Come on and take us there.
Richmond needs some
Rock n Roll
Richmond needs some
Rock n Roll.
Hey Claire. Come on and take us there.
Richmond needs some
Rock n Roll
Richmond needs some
Rock n Roll.
