Don't tell us to turn it down
Rock and roll gets hot and loud
When I fire up my amplifier,
Girls get a hot desire
Playing in a rock and roll band
Playing my music doing the best I can
Playing at the local club
I learned my chops and grew my hair
Had my share of tough luck
Everybody's all been there
Playing in a rock and roll band
Playing my music doing the best I can, I was
Playing in a Rock and Roll Band
Spot Lights and limosines
Gonna make my date for the tv screen
I'm gonna get my picture on a magazine
Living with some groupie queen
Playing in a rock and roll band
Playing my music doing the best I can, I was
Playing in a Rock and Roll Band
Playing at the Civic Hall
They're lined up to the back wall
Smell of dope was in the air
Cocaine nose was everywhere
Playing in a rock and roll band
Playing my music doing the best I can, I was
Playing in a Rock and Roll Band
