You wanted rock and roll to reign forever
You came in right when things were winding down
Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
The darkness lives in Southern California
Been a hundred miles since I thought about you

When I think about it all, well it hurts me in my soul

Take me back to the good old days, when the tones of rock guitar
would be heard at your local bar, b-b-b-bar
Baby don’t you try to tell me that the kids are keeping pace i can see it on your face  been driving all night long, on the radio i hear my song
bout a mile back i lost the way back home 
I had a dream about this a long, long time ago
there’s no two ways about (two ways about it, no two ways about it)

shake it baby, shake it like you want it
shake it now, shake it like you mean it
shake it for your sister, shake for your brother
shake it for all the pretty, pretty girls 
Save me rock and roll, make everything alright, I wanna see my name in bright flashing lights save me rock and roll, before i get too old, its a game that i can play any day
 every now and then i think it’s better
but as the decades roll on, the legend’s all that remains and we’re not the same

it makes me want to cry, those days are over
we used to twist and shout, and laugh about
the way that things were going

stay a little while and listen to my story
in the beginning they gave us the gift of rock and roll,
plug it into your soul

The ones who long have passed could never imagine
In such a lonely world, the death of rock and roll
It was a gift from your mother

You Wanted Rock and Roll
