It's a hurried up life But it's the life I choose No use in asking me to slow down Cause I got nothing to lose But time and time is all I've got You know I born standing up with a guitar in my hand I'm not trying to come on like hollywood But hollywood is what I am When we come into a new town Everybody's there When we play our music Hands are in the air When the music's over You wonder where we are I'm standing in the silence With my old guitar Rock is my life and this is my song It's a crying shame That some of us have not survived No use in asking how it happened But very few are left alive I just wanna keep on makin' music We gotta keep on keepin' on You're only as good as your last record I know that someday we'll be gone, gone When we come into a new town Everybody's there When we play our music Hands are in the air When the music's over You wonder where we are I'm standing in the silence With my old guitar Rock is my life and this is my song When we come into a new town Everybody's there When we play our music Candles light the air When the music's over, over You wonder where we are I'm standing in the silence With my old guitar, my only friend Rock is my life and this is my song
