Playing in a Rock and Roll Band

I had a dream when I started out
Get out of school and buy a guitar
I had a band with a thousand names
And people said that I was a star
I gotta get up on the stage
And get myself on the hit parade

CHORUS
'Cause I'm playing in a rock and roll band
And it's the only thing that I understand
Yes I'm playing in a rock and roll band
And now I've got someone to give me a hand
'Cause I'm playing in a rock
Playing in a rock
Playing in a rock and roll band

The band rehearsed every day and night
And everything was coming on strong
Played Anaheim when the time was right
And all I had to play was this song
I could feel the electricity
The lights so bright I could hardly see

CHORUS
'Cause I'm playing in a rock and roll band
And it's the only thing that I understand
Yes I'm playing in a rock and roll band
And now I've got someone to give me a hand
'Cause I'm playing in a rock
Playing in a rock
Playing in a rock and roll band

"It started out so long ago
A kid at school into rock and roll
You couldn't get it out of your head
You heard a voice and all it said was
'It's gonna be---alright'
Into the late late night
'You wanna rock and roll"
All night

CHORUS
Playing in a rock and roll band
And it's the only thing that I understand
Yes I'm playing in a rock and roll band
'Cause now I've got someone to give me a hand
Yes I'm playing in a rock
Playing in a rock
Playing in a rock and roll band
