It's a hurried up life
But it's the life I choose,
No use in asking me to slow down
'Cause I've got nothin' to lose
But time, and time is all I've got.
You know I was born standin' up
With a guitar in my hand.
I'm not tryin' 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 standin' in the silence with my old guitar.
Rock is my life and this is my song.
It's a cryin' shame
That some of us have not survived
No use in askin' how it happened
But very few are left alive
I just wanna keep on makin' music
I 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, heads are in the air.
When the music's over you wonder where we are;
I'm standin' 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, candle light in the air.
When the music's over you wonder where we are,
I'm standin' in the silence with my old guitar.
Rock is my life and this is my song.
