(Hicks / Lynch)
|
I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
|
When I was needed (I wasn't there)
|
I was out on the road
|
Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there)
|
I should have been right by her side
|
Like a good man ought to be
|
But this rock'n'roll music sure gotta hold on me
|
|
I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
|
When my shack was burning (I wasn't there)
|
I was out on the road playing with my rock'n'roll band (I wasn't there)
|
While someone else put out the fire
|
I was wailing my guitar
|
Somehow this rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me
|
|
Somewhere I know, I sold my soul
|
Sold it to the devil or the king of rock'n'roll
|
Once I found out, what the music was all about
|
Picked up my baggage
|
And I joined in a big rock show
|
I knew that I had to go
|
|
I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
|
There for my wedding (I wasn't there)
|
I was back on the road
|
Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there)
|
But when I came off stage that night
|
I found her waiting patiently, good girl
|
She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold
|
Rock'n'roll music sure got a hold
|
She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me
