Rock And Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life) |
| I can still remember when I bought my first guitar |
| Remember just how good the feeling was, put it proudly in my car |
| And my family listened fifty times to my two song repertoire |
| And I told my mum her only son was gonna be a star |
| Bought all the Beatle records, sounded just like Paul |
| Bought all the old Chuck Berry’s, 78's and all |
| And I sat by my record player, playin' every note they played |
| And I watched them all on TV, makin every move they made |
| Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life |
| All the dreamy sunny Sundays, all the moon-lit summer nights |
| I was so busy in the back room writin' love songs to you |
| While you were changin' your direction and you never even knew |
| That I was always, just one step behind you. |
| ‘66 seemed like the year I was really goin' somewhere |
| We were living in San Francisco, with flowers in our hair |
| Singing songs of kindness so the world would understand |
| But the guys and me were something more than just another band |
| And then '69 in LA, came around so soon |
| We were really making headway and writing lots of tunes |
| And we must have played the wildest stuff we had ever played |
| The way the crowds cried out for us, we thought we had it made |
| Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life |
| All the crazy lazy young days, all the magic moon-lit nights |
| I was so busy on the road singin' love songs to you |
| While you were changin' your direction, and you never even knew |
| That I was always, just one step behind you |
| '71 in Soho, when I saw Suzanne |
| I was trying to go it solo, with someone else’s band |
| And she came up to me later and I tooke her by the hand |
| And I told her all my troubles and she seemed to understand |
| And she followed me through London, through a hundred hotel rooms |
| Throught a hundred record companies who didn’t like my tunes |
| And she followed me when, finally, I sold my old guitar |
| And she tried to help me understand, I’d never be a star |
| Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life |
| All the dreamy sunny Sundays, all the moon-lit summer nights |
| And though I never knew the magic of makin' it with you |
| Thank the Lord for giving me the little bit I knew |
| And I will always be one step behind you |
| Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life |
| Singing out my love songs in the brightly flashing lights |
| And though I never knew the magic of makin' it with you |
| Thank the Lord for giving me the little bit I knew |
| Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life |
| All the dreamy sunny Sundays, all the moon-lit summer nights |
| I was so busy in the back room makin' love songs to you |
| While you were changin' your direction, and you never even knew |
| That I was always, just one step behind you |
