Lyrics
Wake ups at 5 in the afternoon
It's getting late & I know my doom
Tonight I've got to do it again
I Guess there's no escaping it
It's a Rock & Roll Life
Just a Rock & Roll Life
Forget about the money, forget about a wife
It's a Rock & Roll Life
Someone's on the phone he wants to blow my mind
He says I'll get his name when I meet him from behind
Today is Friday got to pay the band
It looks like I'll be doing 1 night stands
For my Rock & Roll Life
Yeah my Rock & Roll Life
Forget about the money, forget about a wife
It's a Rock & Roll Life
Don't need no telephone
When you're all alone
So far out of sight
Don't even need no light
Take out the phone shut off everything
'Cause all I've got to do is sing
About my Rock & Roll Life
Yeah my Rock & Roll Life
Peggy looks like Susie Susie looks like Jane
Janie sound like Linda man there all the same
Annie she's so crazy just ask all the boys
She's so glad to be my Rock & Roll Toy
In this Rock & Roll Life
Yeah this Rock & Roll Life
Forget about the money, forget about a wife
It's a Rock & Roll Life
Lately I'm always on the run
I Can't even tell if I'm Having fun
If I ever figure out where I am
You know I'll send you some telegram
About this Rock & Roll Life
Yeah this Rock & Roll Life
Well Forget about the money, you'll never have a wife
In a Rock & Roll Life
Ad lib out
I'm talking Rock & Roll Life
I said Rock & Roll Life
I'm talking rocking, rocking, rocking, rocking, rocking roll life
I'm talking Rock & Roll Life
I said Rock & Roll Life
I'm talking Rock & Roll Life
I'm talking rock & roll, rock & roll, rock & roll life
I said Rock & Roll Life
Rocking rocking rocking rocking rocking rocking rocking rocking rocking rocking rocking rocking roll life
I'm talking Rock & Roll Life
I said Rock & Roll Life
I'm talking Rock & Roll Life
I'm talking rock & roll, rock & roll, rock & roll life
