It Was All Rock and Roll Then

歌詞

I used to spend my time singing beneath the old pier I liked to watch all the shapes on the shore My very best friend, maybe a cold beer You, sleeping my radio You were strong enough You'd walk in any room and you could act so tough Oh, I wanted to be like that You even looked good in my cowboy hat It was all rock 'n' roll then It was all rock 'n' roll We were Northern boys, came from a small town The same cool jackets and the same girls Two old record players and two guitar straps You lived in my house and I lived in yours You were good enough We met these boys and girls who played, they slapped you up Oh, I wanted to play like that But all I had was the cowboy hat It was all rock 'n' roll then It was all rock 'n' roll [Instrumental] I stayed at home, you went away, south It's hard to get to see you in a cabaret band You had a child, you had a daughter She must be really proud of her old man Oh, I wanted to live like that I gave your little girl my cowboy hat It was all rock 'n' roll then It was all rock 'n' roll [Interlude] It was all rock 'n' roll He made a little cash for his own place Just a stone's throw from the pier Time I called, he changed the jukebox Country music and American beer Oh, I wish I could live like that Even bought his broken cowboy hat It's all rock 'n' roll now It's all rock 'n' roll It's all rock 'n' roll
