Believe In Rock & Roll

Recently i've been thinkin about what i am and where my priorities lie
Gettin it together on some future plan, decidin what i need to get by
I tried workin and schoolin but there just not my plan, oh no
Can't ya see i'll always be a music man

Well i could be pickin bluegrass or singin the blues,
It doesn't really matter to me
As long as i'm playin the music i just can't lose,
And noones gonna tell me differently
Cause all i really care about is sittin right here in my hands,
Oh yeah
Can't ya see i'll always be a music man

Well my momma sits and worries about me for days
Even though she really likes the way the boy plays
My daddy tells her i'm just goin through a phase
But that's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin but i take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Can't ya see i'll always be a music man
(repeat) yeah

(solo)

Well my momma sits and worries about me for days
Even though she really likes the way the boy plays
My daddy tells her that i'm goin through a phase
But that's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin but i take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Can't ya see i'll always be a music man

Well i've told you my story now here's what i've found
To be happy you need only be real
So don't let anyone try to turn your head around
Just remember you are what you feel
You see all of my life people been tryin to tell me what i am, oh yeah
Can't ya see i'll always be a music man, oh yeah
(repeat)

She looked at me with fire in her eyes.
Looks can't kill but she certainly tries,
And she tried as she might.
But i'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.

She said honey, "forget me quick."
Another fool, another hollywood trick.
Movin' on a red light.
But i'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.

I got to go there's someone on the phone.
Knock on my door, but there's nobody home
I turned out the light
And i'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.

Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight.
Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight.
I'm gonna make it.
Shakin' it loose tonight.

I used to be lonely till i learned about livin alone
I found other things to keep my mind on
And i'm gettin to know myself a little bit better
Whoa , i keep pushin on
Keep pushin on, yeah

Goin through all the changes i made so many mistakes, oh yes i did
Tryin to leave behind the heartaches
And sometimes i think i was a little bit crazy, oh yeah
Whoa, i keep pushin on

Keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin on
Keep pushin, keep pushin, you know you have got to be so strong
Keep pushin, keep pushin, well even if you think your strength is gone
Keep pushin on

(solo)

Well it's comin together i finally feel like a man, oh yes i do
I never thought that i'd be where i am, oh
Everyday i wake a little bit higher
Whoa i keep pushin on, oh yeah
(repeat chorus)

You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin

And though i know all about those men
Still i don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And i meant, every word i said
When i said that i love you i meant
That i love you forever

And i'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing i wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you

(solo)

And i meant every word i said
When i said that i love you i meant
That i love you forever

(chorus)

You may not know this but you are everything you've ever needed.
Heaven with a touch of new york. silver with a touch of gold.
And i can see where you're goin', but i don't really know the way.
It's got too many changes, too much rearranging,
Too many ways to go astray.

So if you wanna go, let me go along
I never walked that road alone
I heard it was hard
I heard it was long
But we'll come back alive
'cause only the strong survive

You walk on a wire, make a game of desire, pitchin' pennies down a wishing well.
You're leading the blind through there high and low times, but baby can you lead yourself?
So calm down, honey, forget about the money. if you need me i'll always be there.
Go ride your high horse alone of course
'cause if you need me i'll always care
