Steppenwolf - For Rock 'N' Roll Lyrics
I recall the very first timeI heard that Rock 'n Roll on the radioStill I feel it like the first timeSend shivers down my back right to my toesNow everybody in the school yardWas rockin' for their life the whole week throughCome Friday afternoon when school was overWe'd plan our secret rendezvousAnd late at night when all were sleepingI would steal away to find my crewOh, the time that we did haveTales I could tellWild and crazy night out on patrolChances we'd takePassion burned like fire in our soulFor Rock' n RollI learned to rock while still a babyLearned to roll while still a boyBut I did not rock-n-roll 'til I was ableTo keep myself quite gainfully employedAnd I've traveled just about the whole world overAnd you know there ain't too much I've not enjoyedOh, the time that we did have-etc.In all these years it gave me powerTo keep movingIt's the only thing I knowIt's the only way I'll goWhat I am is what I oweTo Rock' n Roll
