Well now there ain't no rules and regulations
When you're playin' rock'n'roll
You got your backbeat in the driver's seat
You're rollin' and it's outta control
Now they say that it's a young man's game
And that is who is burnin' the flame
But they seem to forget who shot the rocket outta the hole
You got your young string slingers
Burnin' up and down the fretboard all day
You got your metal on the dark side warnin' of the judgement day
But there's still a lotta of guys on the road
And they're knockin' down a backbeat load
We got thirty long years of bringin' people rock'n'roll
Rockin' music makes us whole, it doesn't matter if you're young or old
They love to hear it on the radio, it takes their troubles away
I'll tell ya what don't work for me, the crazy ideology
That says playin' that rock'n'roll is just a young man's game
Now if you're playin' in a coliseum . or in a smoky ol' club
Long as all the people rockin' there's a whole lotta shakin' going on
When you're singin' in harmony and you're down on your bended knee
Throw your guitar in the trunk and drive your Cadillac to the show
Rockin' music makes us whole, it doesn't matter if you're young or old
They love to hear it on the radio, it takes their troubles away
I'll tell ya what don't work for me, the crazy ideology
That says playin' that rock'n'roll is just a young man's game
? drum break
Rockin' music makes us whole, it doesn't matter if you're young or old
They love to hear it on the radio, it takes their troubles away
I'll tell ya what don't work for me, the crazy ideology
That says playin' that rock'n'roll is just a young man's game
. I'm hear to tell ya it drives me insane
To hear that rock'n'roll music's just a young man's game
