| When I was a boy growing up in Kentucky
|
| Always kinda felt stuck in a rut
|
| See, I couldn’t see
|
| What the future held for me
|
| One day a sound I’d never heard before
|
| Came rumbling through the walls of the house next door
|
| So I had to peek inside
|
| What I saw there blew my mind
|
| I saw guitar slingin'
|
| Everybody singin'
|
| Johnny B. Goode
|
| Right away I understood what I was meant to do…
|
| Learn to play three chords
|
| Get 'em on the dance floor
|
| Maybe buy some blue suede shoes
|
| If it gets in your soul, that’s what rock and roll does to you
|
| First things first, join a band
|
| Live on the road, sleep in the van
|
| Every day’s a new day but the same old scene
|
| Ears are still ringin' from the night before
|
| So you turn it up just a little more
|
| Drummer counts the first song off in four
|
| And you’re right back to living the dream
|
| With the guitar slingin'
|
| Everybody singin'
|
| I Wanna Hold Your Hand
|
| But the little girls don’t understand
|
| This ain’t nothin' new
|
| Beat your Stratocaster
|
| Louder and faster
|
| 'Til everybody’s raising the roof
|
| Once it gets in your soul, that’s what rock and roll does to you
|
| The years have flown by, I’ve played 'em all
|
| From little dives to concert halls
|
| Every show’s different but some things never change
|
| Once you get the
|
| Guitar slingin'
|
| Everybody singin'
|
| Johnny B. Goode
|
| I’m so glad I understood
|
| What I was meant to do
|
| Tried to look just like the Beatles, party like the Eagles
|
| Went too far a time or two
|
| Once it gets in your soul, that’s what rock and roll does to you
|
| If it gets in your soul, that’s what rock and roll does to you
|
| Once it gets in your soul, that’s what rock and roll will do |
