Just Wanna Rock 'N Roll

Rodney Atkins

Times are tough and times are strange
But time's one thing that you can't change
Love is a noun and love is a verb
But sometimes love is a dirty word

It don't matter what tomorrow brings
Tonight you just need to think about one thing
And that's showing up and letting go
And maybe gettin' just a little out of control

And sing oh
Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll
Gather up a couple of friends
Let a shot hit the spot
And the party begin
And sing oh yeah
Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll
Lose yourself out in the crowd
In the night, in the lights cuttin' loose some love
Drown all the stressed up theft up messed up out
That's what I'm talking about

The sun will shine and the clouds will rain
Might have to learn to smile through the pain
You lose a step but you gain a friend
Might even catch a break every now and then
So don't sweat it just let it slide
And when you get on the road baby let it ride
You gotta get up to get down
You gotta unwind a little to come on 'round

And sing oh yeah
Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll
Gather up a couple of friends
Let a shot hit the spot and the party begin
Oh yeah don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll
Lose yourself out in the crowd
In the night, in the lights cuttin' loose some love
Drown all the messed up theft up stressed up out
That's what I'm talking about

And when you get tired of trying to be
Who they want you to be
Be what you wanna be
Well come on, come on

Oh, oh yeah
Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll
Gather up a couple of friends
Let a shot hit the spot let the party begin
Oh, oh don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll
Lose yourself out in the crowd
In the night, in the lights cuttin' loose some love
Drown all the stressed up messed up theft up out
That's what I'm talking about

Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll
Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll
Gather up a couple of friends
Let the party begin
Lose yourself out in the crowd
Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll
