Oh I was poor as a boy,
|
Only had one thing to my name.
|
But I worked so hard
|
On my old guitar,
|
I know each note sounded the same.
|
Yea I did what I said,
|
And I taught myself how to play,
|
But the tables turned,
|
With the things I learned,
|
Now it feels so good when I say
|
|
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
|
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
|
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
|
But nobody knows which way to go.
|
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
|
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
|
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
|
But nobody knows which way to go.
|
|
Right back at the start
|
With my time all over again,
|
Would I push my luck,
|
What a chance I took,
|
But it all worked out in the end.
|
I'm doin' all right,
|
Is the good life fading away.
|
But I don't feel bad,
|
The good times I've had,
|
And I can't stand still when I say
|
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
|
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll,
|
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
|
But nobody knows which way to go.
|
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
|
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
|
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
|
But nobody knows which way to go.
|
|
Fools laugh in my face when I tell them how it began.
|
Who's takin' my place for the first time nobody can.
|
I'm leavin' the race and there's no-one changin' my plan.
|
No more I can say I came here to play,
|
Listen to me.
|
|
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
|
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
|
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
|
But nobody knows which way to go.
|
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
|
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
|
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
|
But nobody knows which way to go.
|
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
|
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
|
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
|
But nobody knows which way to go, oh.
