My mother told me to be stronger,
And she marveled in see my hair grow,
She noted the slang and my clothes,
And the old records that I wanted to sell,
And new ones acquired
She don't know, that is rock and roll
She don't know, that is rock and roll
She don't know, that is rock and roll
My mother noticed that my job
Was teach guitar for my friends,
She found a show that I was
And marveled with what happened to me,
She saw that I changed!
She don't know, that is rock and roll
She don't know, that is rock and roll
She don't know, that is rock and roll
