lyrics

Rock 'n' Roll

I heard a story about a man and his promised land who ran away from god and love
He stole a motor bike with a velvet lie, he wore a cross on his neck for luck
He kissed his sweetheart and said so long, he said mama don't you cry
You know I'm gonna make you proud before I die

He had the rage to fight and sing late at night, he smoked until his lungs were black
He learned muscle cars and mason jars he got a tattoo on his back
He'd never tell you that he cried at night or stuck a needle in his arm
He wrote back home there was no cause for alarm

Rock and roll can save your life and it'll take away your pain
Rhythm and soul can take a young man and wash him like the rain
And if you're like me you'll be set free when the band strikes up a song
And you'll dance, dance, dancing all night long

You'll be a rolling stone son if you don't come home
You'll be a rolling stone son if you don't come home
You'll be a rolling stone son if you don't come home tonight
You'll be a rolling stone son if you don't come home
You'll be a rolling stone son if you don't come home

Rock and roll can save your life and it'll take away your pain
Rhythm and soul can take a young man and wash him like the rain
And if you're like me you'll be set free when the band strikes up a song
And you'll dance, dance, dancing all night long

"With his soulful, powerful, made-for-radio voice in the driver seat, Sam Lee's music is a sonic melting pot of hook centered pop, anthemic heartland rock and bluesy soul. A true crossover artist both on record and on stage, he is both intimately engaging and enthrallingly dramatic." ... more
