All I Wanna Do Is Rock

This is my autobiographical piece. My dad had a talk with me once about what I was going to do with my life
and this is pretty much the whole story the way it is. It took several years before he got it. But eventually
grew to admire my stamina, little did he know I’m just a fool for punishment.


I come into this world swinging like a whirlwind
Screamin’ at the top of my lungs
Born in the fifties, when I heard that sound
I had to turn it up when everybody turned it down

All I wanna do is rock,
Life’s too short to punch another man’s clock
I just can’t seem to stop,
I wanna roll when I’m old, bop till I drop
All I wanna do is rock

Well my friends back at school said I was a fool
when I quit and walked away from it all.
Now they’re workin’ nine to five tryin’ to stay alive
and I’m out here just havin’ a ball
When I look back on it now I swear I don’t know how
I ever made it out of there alive
Workin’ in the bars, stayin’ out all night while
my daddy said son you’re just wasting your time

Chorus

Sometimes I work so hard, I get so tired,
The only way to slow down is to drop.
It’s a young man’s game but I play it just the same
I live for the sound of the snare drum’s pop.
Nite after nite day after day if I had to do it over
I’d do the same damn thing
When the going gets tough I take it all in stride,
The road’s a little rough, but it’s one hell of a ride.

Chorus
