lyrics

New strings on a cheap guitar
getting loose, playing hard
nothing feels as good as rock and roll
'hail hail rock and roll'

Everybody was at the bar
nobody paid the cover charge
everything is free when you're young
'may you be forever young'

Why'd they have to drive on the wrong side of that road?
How come the good don't all just live til they get old?
I never did like to do what I was told
But I'm always trying to do the best I can
Everybody's trying to do the best they can

It gets a little bit touch and go
a little I told you so
but I insist the best is yet to come

I want more than rendezvous
honey I wanna abscond with you
for a little forever until the end
I've been missing my best friend

And you've got your special way of moving
so that gravity won't hold
you've got no business staying down here on the ground
nothing left but movement in your soul

And you got that special way of moving me
so that gravity won't hold us down
you could be a masterpiece, some European movie
I'll just be an old American song

I'll be some old American song
nothing left but movement in your soul
and everybody doing the best they can
Everybody's trying to do the best they can
