lyrics

There was a day when I was so lonely
Time passed me by I was more dead than alive
Every minute was like an hour
Every day was an eternity
I looked for hope but all around me people didn't seem to care
But oh... that rock N roll
It saved my soul
That Rock N Roll
If I ever thought that I could be happy
Seems like that always faded away
And all the girls already had boyfriends
I was alone as lonely could be
I layed asleep and turned on the radio
The music to me was like a dream
Oh.. that rock N roll
It saved my soul
That Rock N Roll
Walk around but you've gotta have a reason
Something worth getting up in the morning for
My heart looked to art and I found The Beatles
Oh God I was and am a true disciple
Look for the fun and you'll start a happy cycle
The music will make you come alive
Oh that rock N roll
It saved my soul
That rock N roll
She was crying Just like a baby
Didn't wanna fight, or more like maybe
Gotta get on home at night
Seet the petal to the right
See the love in adultery
And wonder who was in the outfield
Swear I know the truth and I ain't wearin' no bunny suit
I got some dollar on high look out
