That's What Rock And Roll Will Do
When I was a boy growing up in Kentucky, always kinda felt stuck in a rut
See, I couldn't see what the future held for me
One day a sound I'd never heard before came rumbling through the walls of the house next door
So I had to peek inside, what I saw there blew my mind.
I saw guitar slingin', everybody singin' "Johnny B. Goode"
Right away I understood what I was meant to do
Learn to play three chords, get 'em on the dance floor, maybe buy some blue suede shoes
If it gets in your soul, that's what rock and roll does to you.
First things first, join a band, live on the road, sleep in the van
Every day's a new day but the same old scene
Ears are still ringin' from the night before so you turn it up just a little more
Drummer counts the first song off in four and you're right back to living the dream.
With the guitar slingin', everybody singin' "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"
But the little girls don't understand, this ain't nothin' new.
Beat your Stratocaster louder and faster 'til everybody's raising the roof
Once it gets in your soul, that's what rock and roll does to you.
Rock 'n' roll!
The years have flown by and I've played 'em all from little dives to concert halls
Every show's different but some things never change.
Once you get the guitar slingin', everybody singin' "Johnny B. Goode"
I'm so glad I understood what I was meant to do.
Tried to look just like the Beatles, party like the Eagles, went too far a time or two
Once it gets in your soul, that's what rock and roll does to you
If it gets in your soul, that's what rock and roll does to you, yeah
Once it gets in your soul, that's what rock and roll will do to you.
Oh yeah.
That's what rock and roll will do
That's what rock and roll will do.
